Zach Cregger’s highly anticipated horror film, “Weapons,” and Disney’s sequel comedy, “Freakier Friday,” helped prove that horror and humor can thrive at the box office.

“Nobody 2” will likely be no match for “Weapons,” a twisty horror film from Warner Bros. and New Line that opened to a smashing $43.5 million last weekend. It’s continued to be a box office winner throughout the week and should top charts with $20 million to $22 million in its sophomore outing.

With $60 million domestically and another $40 million from overseas markets, Weapons has grossed exactly $100 million worldwide. It's the third horror hit in a row this year for distributor Warner Bros.

A Weapons prequel based on Aunt Gladys’ origin is reportedly being discussed by Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema. The origin of Aunt Gladys, played by Amy Madigan, was left unexplored in the movie. Zach Cregger’s Weapons has emerged as a hit at the box office and has grossed over $80 million globally as of
