Welcome to **The** **Box Office Report** for the weekend of Sept. 25-27, 2026. ## 1\. Avengers: Endgame *Weekend gross: *$26M** *Total domestic gross: *$884.4M** *Last weekend: *Re-release** *Percent drop: *NA** The last time *Avengers: Endgame* was atop the box office was the weekend of May 10, 2019\. The culmination of the Infinity Saga had notched a $63.3 million third weekend, bringing its domestic total at that point to $723.7 million. *Endgame*’s original North American box office run settled at $858.4 million. **Popculturology** was on a hiatus when *Avengers: Endgame* started its box office run with a then-record $357.1 million opening weekend, so it’s fun to wind up having a chance to write about the film in 2026 thanks to the release of *Avengers: Endgame Encore*. [‘Avengers: Endgame Encore’ turns an ending into an ellipsis | Popculturology‘Endgame’ is back in theaters this weekend, complete with multiple new scenes to connect the Infinity Saga conclusion to ‘Avengers: Doomsday.’![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/icon/omnicosm-square-new-2-419d72f5-76be-4018-a295-d0831cc52687.png)The OmnicosmBill Kuchman![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/thumbnail/popculturology-special-edition-avengers-endgame-encore-lede-6de85d31-abe4-4579-9de8-ed9c84b64bc9.jpg)](https://www.theomnicosm.com/popculturology-special-edition-avengers-endgame-encore/) Between a $26 million weekend for *Endgame Encore* and *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*’s record opening weekend of $360.1 million and a domestic haul that’s now crossed $950 million, things are looking good when it comes to the box office for the MCU and *Avengers: Doomsday*’s December release. The jury is still out on how things are looking [in terms of creative decisions](https://www.theomnicosm.com/popculturology-trailer-avengers-doomsday/), though ... ## Sign up for Popculturology Love reading about movies, TV shows and everything pop culture?

Resident Evil *Weekend gross: *$23.3M** *Total domestic gross: *$103.5M** *Last weekend: *1st** *Percent drop: *61** After outgrossing the individual domestic hauls for every Resident Evil movie last weekend, director **Zach Cregger**’s *Resident Evil* followed up that accomplishment by becoming the franchise’s first movie to break the $100 million barrier in North America. The latest *Resident Evil* movie now has a shot at passing *Weapons*’s $151.6 million domestic total to become Cregger’s biggest hit. also from the omnicosm [![CTA Image](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/08/snackology-square-new-reverse.png)](https://www.theomnicosm.com/snackology/) Love what you’re reading?

Heart of the Beast *Weekend gross: *$20M** *Total domestic gross: *$20M** *Last weekend: *New release** *Percent drop: *NA** **David Ayer** and **Brad Pitt** are back together, joining *Avengers: Endgame* and *Resident Evil* in the $20 million club this weekend. *Heart of the Beast*’s $20 million opening weekend is a few million behind the $23.7 million that *Fury* debuted with back in October 2014. ## 4\. Primetime *Weekend gross: *$19.2M** *Total domestic gross: *$19.2M** *Last weekend: *New release** *Percent drop: *NA** *Primetime* came very close to joining the three films above it in the $20 million club. The acclaimed **Robert Pattinson** film was playing in considerably fewer theaters than the competition — 2,874 for *Primetime* versus 3,435 for *Heart of the Beast* and 3,684 for *Resident Evil* — which makes *Primetime* keeping up with those films even more impressive. ## 5\. Forgotten Island *Weekend gross: *$12.8M** *Total domestic gross: *$12.8M** *Last weekend: *New release** *Percent drop: *NA** Critics and fans both seem to like *Forgotten Island*. Over at *Rotten Tomatoes*, the animated film has a 95 percent critics score and a 96 percent audience score. That buzz didn’t translate into box office success, though, with *Forgotten Island* grossing just $12.8 million over its opening weekend. *Box office numbers via The Numbers and Box Office Mojo based on Sunday estimates.* [![CTA Image](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/08/popculturology-wordmark-2.png)](#/portal/account/plans) ****Popculturology is a publication of The Omnicosm.** Issue No. 498 ****Popculturology** is written and produced by ****Bill Kuchman**.
