Hello! Welcome to **The** **Box Office Report** for the weekend of Oct. 20-22, 2023.

## 1\. Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour

**Weekend gross:* $31M* 
**Total domestic gross:* $129.8M* 
**Last weekend:* 1st* 
**Percent drop:* 67*

Another weekend, another win for **Taylor Swift**. After taking off the boring part of the week, *Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour* returned to theaters to add another $31 million to its domestic haul.

After *The Eras Tour* crushed every record for a concert movie last week, Swift’s film put more distance between itself and its historical competition this weekend. *Justin Bieber: Never Say Never*? $73 million. *Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour*? $65.3 million.

## 2\. Killers of the Flower Moon

**Weekend gross:* $23M* 
**Total domestic gross:* $23M* 
**Last weekend:* New release* 
**Percent drop:* NA*

*Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour* was never in danger of being dethroned by *Killers of the Flower Moon*, but **Martin Scorsese**’s latest made it closer than most people expected.

In addition to receiving glowing reviews from critics and audience*s, Killers of the Flower Moon* notched one of the best opening weekends of Scorsese’s careers. Only *Shutter Island* ($41.1 million) and *The Departed* ($26.9 million) had better debuts than *Killers of the Flower Moon*.

## 3\. The Exorcist: Believer

**Weekend gross:* $5.6M* 
**Total domestic gross:* $54.2M* 
**Last weekend:* 2nd* 
**Percent drop:* 49*

We’re a week out from Halloween weekend, and *The Exorcist: Believer* is taking advantage of being the only new seasonally themed movie currently in theaters. (Unless you consider seeing *PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie* to be a nightmare …)

## 4\. PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie

**Weekend gross:* $4.5M* 
**Total domestic gross:* $56.1M* 
**Last weekend:* 4th* 
**Percent drop:* 35*

Our daughter isn’t old enough to go to the movies, but I imagine the lack of films that are age appropriate for kids is the reason that movies like *PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie* stick around for four straight weekends.

## 5\. The Nightmare Before Christmas

**Weekend gross:* $4.1M* 
**Total domestic gross:* $4.1M* 
**Last weekend:* New release* 
**Percent drop:* NA*

Here’s a confusing one: *The Nightmare Before Christmas* isn’t a new movie. Obviously. But the film is being reported as if it’s new, with its total domestic gross being reported at $4.1 million — the same amount it brought in during its re-release this weekend. According to *The Numbers, The Nightmare Before Christmas* grossed $77.4 million during its original release, so let’s say that **Henry Selick**’s class film has crossed the $80 million mark.

*Box office numbers via* [*The Numbers*](http://www.the-numbers.com/?ref=theomnicosm.com) *based on Sunday estimates.*
