‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ Tops Domestic Box Office as ‘The Flash’ Plummets

As last week’s number one film, The Flash, had a historic drop, it made room for holdover releases to occupy the top spots at this weekend’s domestic box office. Two animated movies, Sony's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Disney's Elemental, took the top two spots at the box office this weekend, after a closely contested race that came right down to the wire .

But as of now, Across the Spider-Verse is estimated to have reclaimed the top spot after two weeks. While it debuted to excellent numbers in its first weekend, it spent the following two frames at the number two and number three spots, with Transformers: Rise of the Beasts and The Flash providing a temporary distraction to audiences. But with both those movies plummeting, Across the Spider-Verse swung back into pole position with $19.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Elemental was all but written off after its $29 million debut — the second-lowest in Pixar’s history — but the movie seems to be showing signs of life as it slid a soft 39% this weekend for a second-place finish with $18.5 million. This takes the film’s running domestic total to $65 million.

The DCEU Wasn't the Only Franchise to Tumble This Weekend Rounding out the top five is Rise of the Beasts, yet another $200 million tent-pole that isn’t performing as well as anybody involved would’ve liked. The sixth film in the long-running action franchise could gross only $11.6 million in its third weekend, taking its running domestic total to $122 million. Globally, the movie passed the $300 million mark this week.

But here’s a bit of encouraging news to bring the curtain down: Wes Anderson’s new film, Asteroid City, successfully expanded nationwide this weekend after delivering record numbers in limited release a week ago. The film grossed $9 million from a little over 1,600 domestic theaters, putting it on course for one of Anderson’s best domestic box office performances.
