"Dune's Absence Leaves Box Office Muted, Freddy's Repeats Success"
The box office continues to suffer from the actors strike, with ticket sales dropping to the fourth-lowest of 2023. The absence of the highly anticipated film Dune: Part Two, which was postponed to March 2024, has resulted in a significant loss of revenue. Five Nights at Freddy's surpasses $100 million in domestic box office, but experiences a steep drop in its second weekend. Taylor Swift's concert film remains in the top two, while A24's Priscilla performs well in its expanded release. Radical, a Spanish-language film starring Eugenio Derbez, achieves strong numbers, and Meg Ryan's return to rom-com with What Happens Later has a modest opening. The Marsh King's Daughter struggles at the box office.
