For many years, Hollywood conventional wisdom (especially since Covid) held the only films that made money in theaters anymore were big “event film” — new installments of well-established franchises with large fanbases. This weekend’s box-office totals completely upend that belief. The “event” in theaters last weekend was two different little horror movies, driving in tons of young audiences — the same audience that supposedly doesn’t care about theaters or seeing things on a big screen.

Box Office Total: $71.2 million

Warner Bros. had high hopes for The Nice Guys. They got Shane Black, one of the godfathers of the buddy action comedy, to craft a new one for the perfectly mismatched pair of Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling. It was full of quips, stunts, and a smattering of old-school sex appeal. Somewhat inexplicably, the movie bombed, grossing just $36 million in U.S. theaters. In the years since, it’s become a favorite on streaming —just try to find a recent list of “Movies That Deserve Sequels” that doesn’t include The Nice Guys. You can’t do it.
