Borderlands has left the building after just 28 days in theaters and $15.482 million, It made more than half of that ($8.6 million) on its opening weekend. It finishes in 4,451th place all-time. Adjusted for inflation, that's 5,403rd place, behind such luminaires at Bratz, Delta Force 2, First Daughter, and Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2.

Huge second weekend for Beetlejuicex2 - $51.6 million to reach $188m domestic. Its international presence is almost non-existent, no surprise - at $36m.England and Mexico is its second- and third- leading country at $9.6 and $6.4m. It's not showing at all in China ,Japan, Germany, France, and many other places.

It's already up to the #16 comedy of all-time domestic, and could finish as high as second (without inflation). Home Alone currently holds that spot at $285m. Barbie is far and away #1 at $636m.

Speak No Evil debuts at #2 with $11.5m. I believe this is about Prof. X / Mr. Tumnus playing a crazy person, but not the crazy person from Split.

Deadpool & Wolverine shed 325 theaters but still pulled in $5.2 m for the weekend to reach $621.5m. It has surpassed The Last Jedi ($620m in 2017) for 15th all-time domestic and is less than $2m behind 2012's Avengers for 14th. It needs $10.5m to reach $1.3 bn worldwide, something only 21 films have done previously.

Alien: Romulus made $2.4m to breach $100m at $101.3m. It is the 15th movie to reach $100m in 2024. There were 24 movies to do that last year.

Inside Out 2 is down to just 700 theaters and still trails Jurassic World by more than $1 million for 10th all time domestic. Usually the movie studios get real shady at the end of a run and conjure up some sort of company events or screenings to get them over the hump to the next milestone - the most egregious being getting Black Panther to $700m. So watch for that. Inside Out 2 is about $300,000 away from passing JW globally.

Despicable Me 4 is into the top 65 domestic of all time at $359m, passing GOTG3.

Twisters is up to $265m and #133 all-time passing DM3 The Amazing Spiderman, and Harry Potter 2 this weekend.
