New He-Man Reboot Officially Arrives with Explosive Box Office Debut
The domestic box office is looking at another phenomenal weekend after the record-breaking success of Backrooms and Obsession. Both horror movies are expected to deliver massive returns this time around as well. It's entirely possible that the industry saw The Mandalorian and Grogu holding fort this weekend, but the Star Wars movie had a cataclysmic second-weekend drop, and is no longer a factor. Instead, Backrooms and Obsession are taking on a couple of major new releases โ Paramount's Scary Movie reboot and Amazon MGM's Masters of the Universe. With franchise architects the Wayans brothers back in charge after decades, Scary Movie exceeded expectations with a $24 million opening-day haul and is now projected to gross around $55 million for the weekend.
