This weekend, movie lovers had plenty of choices, and some films really stood out. "Black Phone 2" stole the show, making a big splash with $10. 78 million on its first day. It's a scary movie that's got people talking, with Ethan Hawke back as the creepy masked killer. Made for $30 million, it's on track to pull in a solid $24. 4 million over three days. Not bad for a horror flick! Meanwhile, "Tron: Ares" took second place with $3 million. Critics say it's the first "Tron" movie that actually makes sense, adding some heart to the series. It's a step up from the usual tech-heavy plots. "Good Fortune, " Aziz Ansari's first movie as a director, landed in third with $2. 4 million. It's a funny take on money troubles, showing how two guys from totally different worlds can cross paths in LA. Ansari explained it's about the haves and have-nots, and how their lives can collide in unexpected ways. "Truth & Treason" came in fourth, earning over $1. 15 million. It's a serious drama about a teen who stood up to the Nazis and paid the price. It's a powerful story that reminds us of the courage it takes to fight for what's right. Rounding out the top five is "One Battle After Another, " which made $1. 1 million in its fourth week. It's still hanging in there, showing that some movies have staying power.
