Smile 2 Wins The Weekend Box Office Full Of Spooky Season Buzz

Movies


In 2022, Parker Finn’s Smile ended up being a massive box office surprise. While there was originally a plan to release the horror movie via streaming, Paramount Pictures took a shot putting the film in theaters, and it became a huge spooky season hit. Hot buzz led it to win its opening weekend, and by the time it was done playing on the big screen, it made over $200 million worldwide.

Now, two years later, Parker Finn’s Smile 2 is here, and it appears as though the sequel is on the same success trajectory.

The new horror film earned an extremely positive response going into its opening weekend (you can read my four-star Smile 2 CinemaBlend review), and that has translated to an opening weekend for the follow-up even bigger than its predecessor’s. Check out the full Top 10 below and join me after for analysis.
