We’re breaking down the top 10 films that ruled the weekend, counting down from the lowest earner to the reigning champ. Each movie brought something unique, and we’ve got the details on what made them stand out.

10. 28 Years Later (2025)

‘28 Years Later’ pulled in $1.34 million in its fifth week, continuing the zombie franchise’s legacy. Directed by Danny Boyle, this sequel keeps the high-stakes horror alive with a fresh story of survival in a ravaged world.

Its box office has tapered off, but the film’s global total of $145 million proves its enduring appeal. Fans of the series are still drawn to its raw intensity, though newer releases are stealing the spotlight.

9. Lilo & Stitch (2025)

The live-action ‘Lilo & Stitch’ earned $1.5 million, crossing the $1 billion mark worldwide. Disney’s remake of the classic tale about a girl and her alien pal has resonated with audiences, blending humor and heart.

Now in its ninth week, it’s a box office juggernaut, with its massive success driven by nostalgia and universal appeal. It’s the first Hollywood film of 2025 to hit this milestone, a huge win for Disney.

8. Elio (2025)

Pixar’s ‘Elio’ brought in $2 million, reaching $68.9 million domestically in its fifth week. This sci-fi adventure about a boy’s intergalactic journey hasn’t matched Pixar’s usual box office highs but still charms with its creativity.

The film’s modest earnings suggest it’s struggling against bigger family films. It might find a bigger audience later on streaming, where its unique story could shine.

7. Eddington (2025)

A24’s ‘Eddington’ debuted with $4.26 million, delivering a tense thriller set during a pandemic. Ari Aster directs a powerhouse cast, including Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone, in a story that mixes horror with social commentary.

Its opening is solid for an indie film, and early buzz from festivals hints at potential growth. It’s a bold entry that’s sparking conversations among fans of thought-provoking cinema.

6. How to Train Your Dragon (2025)

‘How to Train Your Dragon’ soared to $5.35 million in its sixth week, with a global total of $588.9 million. This live-action take on the animated hit brings Hiccup and Toothless to life with stunning visuals and emotional depth.

Its consistent performance shows we love this dragon-filled adventure. It’s closing in on $600 million worldwide, a testament to its broad appeal across ages.

5. F1 (2025)

‘F1: The Movie’ sped to $9.62 million in its fourth week, starring Brad Pitt as a seasoned racer. With $460.8 million globally, this Apple Studios film has capitalized on the rising popularity of Formula 1 racing.

Its strong run reflects its draw for both sports fans and general audiences. It’s on pace to hit $500 million soon, a rare achievement for a racing drama.

4. Smurfs (2025)

The ‘Smurfs’ musical reboot opened with $11 million, featuring Rihanna as Smurfette. Paramount’s family-friendly film brings the iconic blue characters back with catchy songs and colorful visuals.

While it didn’t top the charts, its debut is promising for a film aimed at younger viewers. It’ll need to hold strong to compete with other family hits in the coming weeks.

3. I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)

‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ slashed its way to $13 million in its opening weekend. This horror reboot, with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. returning, taps into ‘90s nostalgia with modern scares.

Its solid start shows horror fans are eager for more, though it’s up against blockbuster heavyweights. Strong pre-sales suggest it’s hitting the mark with its target audience.

2. Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)

‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’ roared to $23.4 million in its third week, starring Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali. With $648 million worldwide, this dino-filled reboot remains a global powerhouse.

Despite competition from superheroes, it’s holding strong, especially in markets like China. Its blend of thrills and new faces keeps it a must-see for action fans.
