Directed by Len Wiseman, the action film starsDergarabedian said “Ballerina” could have a surge later down the line similar to 2014's “John Wick.” “It took a while for that franchise to really catch on,” he said. “You saw a huge outpouring of interest for the first ‘John Wick’ when it hit home video or streaming, I should say, and I think the same will happen here.” In sixth place, “Karate Kid: Legends” earned $5 million followed by “Final Destination: Bloodlines” at seventh with $3.9 million. Wes Anderson's latestbrought in $3 million eighth place. “The Life of Chuck,” based on a Stephen King story, placed ninth with $2.1 million. Rounding out the top 10 was “Sinners." The Ryan Coogler film starring Michael B. Jordan, drew $1.4 million - which is impressive since the movie is available to watch at home through online and digital platforms after being released two months ago.Dergarabedian said he's looking forward to films in the coming weeks that could have a positive presence at the box office, such as “Eilo,” “F1," “Superman” and “28 Days Later.”With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore:Copyright 2025 The Associated Press.
