Smile retains the top spot at the weekend box office with $17.6 Million.
Both major newcomers at this week’s box office are falling short of expectations. While Sony’s live-action/animated Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is looking at an $11.5 million opening weekend and a second place finish, 20th Century Studios’ Amsterdam lands in third place with a $6.5 million debut weekend. In happier news, Paramount’s Smile is exceeding expectations at the top spot with a $17.6 million second weekend.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Smile has become Paramount's sixth theatrical hit in a row this year, after Scream, Jackass Forever, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, The Lost City, and Top Gun: Maverick. Both Paramount and 20th Century Studios have benefited greatly by capitalizing on an unexpectedly barren stretch after the summer movie season, with Smile and Barbarian, respectively.
