‘Jaws’ Re-Release Chomps Away at Competition, but Zach Cregger’s ‘Weapons’ Tops Lackluster Labor Day Box Office | News Channel 3-12
Warner Bros.' horror film Weapons earned $10.2 million over Labor Day weekend, while Universal's 50th anniversary Jaws re-release made $8.1 million, reflecting a slow box office season.
- Over Labor Day weekend, two new nationwide releases failed to draw large audiences, while Warner Bros. Pictures' Zach Cregger's Weapons reclaimed No. 1 and Universal Pictures' 50th‑anniversary re‑release of Jaws finished second.
- The overall picture at the Labor Day box office showed a muted finish as Comscore reported combined releases earned about $83 million, reflecting a typical seasonal lull in U.S. and Canadian theaters.
- Comscore's estimates show specific weekend grosses including Weapons earning $10.2 million Friday-to-Sunday and $12.4 million over four days, Jaws $8.1 million for three days, and Caught Stealing near $7.8 million.
- The season fell short of the $4 billion benchmark and lags 2024, with Comscore pegging the summer 2025 box-office total near $3.7 billion; studios face a long wait until Tron: Ares debuts on Oct. 10.
- Universal Pictures' Jaws re‑release, screening at TIFF on September 13, and Warner Bros.' The Conjuring: Last Rites, opening Friday, offer studios hope to boost September box office after recent leadership rebounds.
