The ‘Busters are back with an estimated $45 million in ghost dollars, making an admirable, but underwhelming dent in the weekend box office.

While the overall weekend box office was in the doldrums, Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy and the Heron and Godzilla Minus One both set records for Japanese films at the domestic box office.
Godzilla Minus One earned more than any previous Japanese Godzilla film at the North American box office this weekend with $11 million in tickets sold.
There was definitely “room for one more” at screenings of Haunted Mansion across the country, with the new take on the Mansion delivering only $24.2 million in its first weekend of release.
The fifth entry in the long-running Insidious franchise, Insidious: The Red Door, closed the door on the competition to win the weekend box office.
The final entry in the Indiana Jones series couldn’t entice long-time fans out to theaters, especially when many reviews stated that the film was passable, but not as good as the maligned Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
