American moviegoers are sending a loud and clear message to Hollywood: make critically acclaimed, original horror movies and we will come.

Weapons,” a twisty horror film about a group of missing children, and “Freakier Friday,” a body swap comedy, delivered a potent one-two punch at the box office this weekend, lifting ticket sales as summer movie season draws to a close.

Back off, Hollywood: Why a prequel to the box office hit of 2025 ‘Weapons’ is a terrible idea
It's smashed the box office. It's earned rave reviews. And now, like clockwork, studios have sniffed out the buzz and are looking for a follow up. In the case of Zach Cregger's 'Weapons', a prequel. Here's why this is a terrible idea.
With $60 million domestically and another $40 million from overseas markets, Weapons has grossed exactly $100 million worldwide. It's the third horror hit in a row this year for distributor Warner Bros.
Yesterday, the Zach Cregger movie, did $5.2M which is the most a horror film has ever done on a Monday in August, besting Sixth Sense ‘s $4.35M and New Line’s Annabelle: Creation ‘s $3.6M. Weapons is also arguably the best opening for a horror movie in August with $43.5M (Sorry, The Meg is a shark movie, whole different type of genre).
