Hello! Welcome to **The** **Box Office Report** for the weekend of Nov. 3-5, 2023.

## 1\. Five Nights at Freddy’s

**Weekend gross:* $19.4M* 
**Total domestic gross:* $113.6M* 
**Last weekend:* 1st* 
**Percent drop:* 76*

This was not a good weekend at the box office. There have been some fantastic debuts on the first weekend of November in the past. *Thor: Ragnarok* with $122.7 million in 2017\. *Doctor Strange* with $85.1 million in 2016\. *Eternals* with $71.3 million in 2021\. *The Incredibles* with $70.5 million in 2004\. *Spectre* with $70.4 million in 2015.

We should be talking about *Dune: Part Two*’s opening weekend right now, but thanks to the studios’ unwillingness to agree to fair deals with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA, Warner Bros. chose to move the second *Dune* movie into March 2024\. (Warner Bros. missed easy money by not rereleasing the original *Dune* in theaters instead for anyone who missed it during its original release because of the pandemic.)

So instead, we have *Five Nights at Freddy*’s leading the weekend by grossing $19.4 million its second weekend. While the video game adaption crossed the $100 million mark domestically, it saw a massive 76 percent drop from its $80 million opening weekend. (Doesn’t help that the movie is also available on Peacock already.)

## 2\. Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour

**Weekend gross:* $13.5M* 
**Total domestic gross:* $165.9M* 
**Last weekend:* 2nd* 
**Percent drop:* 13*

It’s impressive that *Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour* has made over $165 million in North America while not having showtimes every day during the week.

## 3\. Killers of the Flower Moon

**Weekend gross:* $7M* 
**Total domestic gross:* $52.3M* 
**Last weekend:* 3rd* 
**Percent drop:* 25*

*Killers of the Flower Moon* now sits at No. 8 on **Martin Scorsese**’s domestic box office chart, slipping past *The Color of Money* ($52,293,000) and still a ways behind *Hugo* ($73,864,507). Apple has yet to announce when this movie will be available on Apple TV+, with its listing still advertising “coming at a later date.”

## 4\. Priscilla

**Weekend gross:* $5.1M* 
**Total domestic gross:* $5.3M* 
**Last weekend:* New release* 
**Percent drop:* NA*

This is *technically* *Priscilla*’s eight weekend in theaters, but according to *The Numbers*, it’s only been playing in four theaters a week up until now. So **Popculturology** is going to consider this *Priscilla*’s opening, which would give director **Sophia Coppola** the second biggest opening weekend of her career behind only the $5.4 million *Marie Antoinette* debuted to in 2006\. (This is actually a common thing for Coppola’s films. They often have very limited releases before going wide.)

## 5\. Radical

**Weekend gross:* $2.7M* 
**Total domestic gross:* $2.7M* 
**Last weekend:* New release* 
**Percent drop:* NA*

Feels like every week a film that I’ve been unaware of slips into the top five. This week, it’s *Radical*, a Mexican film starring *CODA*’s **Eugenio Derbez**.
