Taking $334,557 off 100 screens, Matthew Vaughn’s much-panned action-comedy Argylle (above) took the top spot over the weekend, as it did in many other territories.
Wonka has been in the second spot for so long it’ll soon be paying rent. Over the weekend it earned $126,811, lifting its gross take to $6,277,407.
At #3, the previous weekend’s #1, Fighter, took $95,120 to pass half a million and end the weekend with a gross of $502,390.
Elsewhere in the top ten, Priscilla opened on 68 screens. Weekend earnings of $85,735 plus previews took it to $109,797. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom added $62,140 for a gross take of $3,785,775.
Now outside the top 30 and playing on only 6 screens, Next Goal Wins took $2,691 for $1,342,002.
Ms. Information was the sole survivor of the 2023 local releases, taking $79 off a single screen for a gross of $83,181.
