LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - The box office ain't afraid of no ghosts.'Ghostbusters: Afterlife,' a sequel to the sci-fi comedy classic, collected US$44 million in its opening weekend, a better-than-expected result.

"Ghostbusters: Afterlife," a sequel to the sci-fi comedy classic, collected US$44 million in its opening weekend, a better-than-expected result. It's a sign that family audiences are willing to visit their local movie theater, provided there's something broadly entertaining to be found there.

But despite rapturous reviews and Oscar buzz, the Warner Bros. sports drama"King Richard" became the latest adult-oriented drama to crumble at the box office. The film, starring Will Smith as the father of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams, eked out a meager US$5.7 million from 3,302 venues in North America. It may be slightly premature to call it an out-and-out bomb because Warner Bros. is releasing it concurrently on HBO Max, which likely cut into ticket sales.
