"Initial estimates put the Grabber's second outing neck and neck with (and even slightly behind) the rom-dram Regretting You, but when the numbers finally shook out, Black Phone 2 took the weekend's top spot with $8.3 million, pushing its cumulative total to $61 million. Factoring in bonus points for clearing $50 million and finishing No. 1, Black Phone 2 is now at 126 total points, second to only One Battle After Another (192 points) on the overall leaderboard."
"It's easy to forget now, but the 2024 film It Ends With Us wasn't just the pretext for an extended media controversy and eventually the basis of a lawsuit involving Blake Lively and director-star Justin Baldoni. It was, in fact, a $350 million worldwide summer box-office smash, and a big factor in its success is that it was based on a hugely popular novel by Colleen Hoover."
Black Phone 2 rose to the top of the box office over Halloween weekend, earning $8.3 million and bringing its cumulative total to $61 million. The film now has 126 total points after clearing $50 million and finishing No. 1. One Battle After Another remains the season's points leader with 192 points, boosted by Gotham Awards nominations. Regretting You held well in its second week, fueled in part by BookTok and Colleen Hoover's popularity, but did not match the fervor of prior Hoover adaptations. Bugonia expanded to modest numbers. Audience support and awards consideration influenced point standings.
