There’s one key question gripping the box office this weekend: will audiences be Pawing, or will they be Sawing?
After skipping Thursday preview screenings, the “PAW Patrol” sequel unleashed $6.8 million from 3,989 theaters on Friday. That’s an impressive boost above the 2021 original’s $4.5 million opening day — a testament to Paramount and subsidiary Nickelodeon’s careful cultivation of this property since its 2013 debut as a television series. Beyond film and television, “PAW Patrol” has also done over $14 billion in retail sales over the years. “The Mighty Movie” is now looking to bark up a $22.
Though there was hope that the tenth “Saw” entry could knock the sawx off the competition, it’ll likely slide to silver come Sunday. The Lionsgate release took in $8 million from 3,262 theatersThe horror entry’s debut should still come in ahead of the franchise’s previous two entries, 2017’s revival “Jigsaw” and 2021’s police corruption polemic starring Chris Rock, “Spiral: From the Book of Saw” .
Things are looking less auspicious for “The Creator,” a sci-fi epic that comes from Disney subsidiary 20th Century Studios. Director Gareth Edwards and producers managed to, working under an $80 million price tag. But as competitors project a $5.5 million opening day That leaves “Dumb Money,” Columbia Pictures and Black Bear Pictures’ ripped-from-the-headlines feature about the GameStop stock price rollercoaster that took hold of certain corners of the internet during the COVID pandemic. The Craig Gillespie-directed film is now in its third and final stage of a platform release, which began with a solid limited opening of $220,000 across eight theaters two weeks ago.
