The 1930s mystery “Amsterdam” flopped and the children’s book adaptation “Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile” debuted softly, allowing the horror thriller “Smile” to repeat atop the box office in North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday.
A week after topping the charts with a $22 million launch, “Smile” remained No. 1 with $17.6 million at the box office – an impressive second week for the modestly budget horror flick. Horror films usually fall steeply in their second week of release but “Smile,” a creepy thriller about trauma and evil spirits, dropped just 22%.
The best news for Hollywood over the weekend was a sign that adult audiences, after two pandemic-plagued seasons, may be eager to come out for the fall’s top awards contenders. Todd Field’s as a world-renowned conductor, debuted with $160,000 in four New York and Los Angeles theaters, a stellar $40,000 per-theater average. After premiering at Venice Film Festival, Field’s first film since 2006′s “Little Children” has drawn raves from critics and Oscar nomination predictions for Blanchett.
