FRIDAY AFTERNOON: New Line/Warner Bros’ Weapons can claim its third No. 1 weekend, though in its fourth frame, with a 4-day of $12M-$13M at 3,416 theaters, sending its running stateside cume to $135M by Monday. Weapons will soon topple the running domestic take of the original Conjuring ($137.4M), and it’s already past Conjuring 2 ($102.5M) and The Nun ($117.4M) . New Line’s feature take of Stephen King’s It ($328.8M) remains both the studio’s and the industry’s highest grossing horror movie at the domestic box office.

Universal’s 50th anniversary release of Jaws is second at 3,200 sites with a Friday of $3.1M and a 4-day of $9.7M . That will put the lifetime running total on the 1975 tentpole which started it all at $276.9M by Monday.
