‘Hocus Pocus’ Leads Box Office Nearly Three Decades After Original Release

HocusPocus has put a spell on moviegoers. The re-release is now leading the U.S. box office 27 years after originally premiering in theaters

” put a spell on moviegoers, and now it’s leading U.S. box office charts 27 years after originally premiering in theaters.

Those box office receipts put “Hocus Pocus” ahead of more recent titles like “New Mutants,” Russell Crowe’s “Unhinged” and mystery-thriller “Infidel.” There’s a chance that Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” matched “Hocus Pocus” in terms of Friday earnings, but Warner Bros. has not reported daily numbers and declined to comment. When overall weekend numbers are tallied on Sunday, it’s likely that “Tenet” will beat “Hocus Pocus” for first place.

In second place, Disney’s “New Mutants” brought in $260,000 on Friday. The “X-Men” sequel should gross around $940,000 through Sunday, bringing its domestic haul to $20 million. Following closely behind, Solstice Studios’ “Unhinged” amassed roughly $240,000 on Friday and looks to make $815,000 over the weekend for a North American total of $17 million.
