Easter may be just around the corner, but at theatres it was a time for scary, spooky movies.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire was the biggest film at the box office over the Palm Sunday weekend. It grossed an estimated $45.2 million, which is slightly better than the $44 million that the last film, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, opened to in 2021, and just behind the $46 million that the female-led Ghostbusters reboot opened to in 2016.
The week’s other new releases were much smaller, and much darker:
Immaculate, an R-rated horror movie starring Sydney Sweeney as a pregnant nun, landed in 4th place with a $5.4 million gross; and
Late Night with the Devil, an R-rated horror movie about a talk show where things go seriously, supernaturally wrong on Halloween, opened to $2.8 million and is neck-and-neck with another horror movie, Imaginary, for 6th place.
