Weapons has grossed $81 million worldwide, roughly double its budget, and is on track to be a huge box office success with a smaller budget.

Will “ Nobody 2 ” pack a punch at the box office? Universal’s sequel to the pandemic-era hit “Nobody,” starring Bob Odenkirk as a seemingly mild-mannered dad who actually kicks ass and takes names, is aiming for $10 million to $12 million from 3,200 North American theaters in its opening weekend.

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.
