Despite three versions in the new Hollywood that makes its way to theaters during the long weekend on Workers’ Day, Stephen Spielberg’s “Jaws” was all outperformed at the box office. In fact, The Blockbuster Classic was release by Universal Pictures as part of the studio’s continuous celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the film. As it turned out, people still really love this movie, to the point that it was the second title in general at the end of last week.

In general, “Jaws” received an estimated $ 9.8 million during a holiday on Friday to Monday, including $ 8.1 million from Friday to Sunday. It was good enough for the second number on the plans behind “weapons” ($ 12.4 million), which returned to the first number After a brief surrender of the crown to “KPOP Demon Hunters” on the previous weekend. However, none of the new versions of the weekend have not been able to challenge the Spielberg in the silver medal spot, which is impressive and a novel.

The new arrivals at the end of the week included dust from the Austin Bitler Championship “Theft” (9.5 million dollars), and the dark concentration “The Rom Com” ($ 8 million) is distinguished, and the long -awaited Makon Blair director for “The Toxic Avenge” ($ 2.2 million). At different points in recent years, Hollywood was easy to criticize for not launching enough films and hunger theaters mainly to death. But all of these three films have reached very different fans, offering a reasonable amount of size. He did not hesitate to echo enough to get people out collectively.

Instead, people were satisfied with the ordinary, in this case the “jaws”. The total operation of the movie has now increased beyond $ 491 million. “Jaws” was born literally from summer films as we knowSo it is appropriate to see that it helps in getting the summer season after 50 years. In a vacuum, it is good to see it. The problem is that three new versions cannot compete well enough to wipe the $ 10 million mark on the weekend.

Labor Day was historically a fatal weekend at the box office. It indicates the end of the summer and the beginning of the fall of the industry as a whole. However, there are smaller weekends, then there is what happened here. It was a frightening slow frame that helped close an uneven summer season. Despite all the hope between the owners of theater and studios, The 2025 summer box office will not spoil $ 4 billion. In fact, he will not even come close.

On yesterday’s days, Kabir is a good review crime such as “theft of theft” (Especially one directed by a famous film director like Darren Aronovsky) He had no problem making a name for herself on a quiet weekend like this. The same thing with “The Roses”, which also won very strong reviews as well as the Beneedict Cumberbatch (“Doctor Strange”) and Olivia Colman (“Favorite”). Again, according to postpartum standards, the opening of $ 8 million is not bad for a movie like this, it is just a cry far from what these types of films used.

As for “The Toxic Avenger”, a new version of TROMA Classic was placed for the year 1984 on the shelf for about two years after its appearance in Fasting Fest in 2023. Finally, people presented it in Cineverse after success with “Thrifier 2” and “Tirrifier 3.” Unfortunately, although there is a stacked crew and a smart marketing campaign, this campaign did not take it. Cineverse launched an initiative to help survey medical debt on the box office. It was very good, but the campaign could not get this film on a radar of enough people.

It will be one thing if one or two of these films fail to come out in any meaningful way. But at a slow weekend without any intense competition, the three were all fine at best while they failed to fight the “jaws”.

This week is a realistic reminder that the public’s customs have changed dramatically over the past few years. People are happier than ever to stay at home and stretch something. They can wait between 30 and 45 days to rent any of these new movies on VOD. However, the attractiveness of seeing something familiar like “jaws” on the big screen, perhaps for the first time, is still working. It leaves the industry with difficult questions to answer the future, Since the box office may never return to prenatal levels.

When Marvel “Shang Che and the Ten Rings’ legend opened to $ 90 million During the weekend on Labor Day in 2021, I felt that this could become a new history of the right film. It is sad to say, this did not come out, but even “The Equalizer 3” opens to $ 34.6 million in 2023 He gave us a number one movie with a respectable number. The fact that “weapons” won less than $ 13 million today during the weekend for four bleak days.

On a longer period of time, Hollywood needs to know how to make people attend more regularly for $ 40 million, medium budget films such as “theft”. In the near future, both theater and studio owners hope to bring the fall more green pastures. Fortunately, things look good “The Conjuring: Last Rites”, which can kick the season with a noise. From there, things get a little dice again.

Will “Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale” show the intended audience? Can Stephen King’s adaptation “long walk” become another great success? Will the original films such as “HIM” or “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey” will be launched better than “The Roses” on the opening weekend? These are the big questions that you will need to answer during the month of September and many of October.

You can seize “Jaws” on 4K, Blu-Ray or DVD from Amazon.
