'Superman' Smushes 'Smurfs' At Friday Box Office As 'Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle' Smashes Records in Japan

‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ earned less on its first Friday than ‘I Still Know What You Did Last Summer’ in 1998, while it and ‘The Smurfs’ will barely top $12 million in their debut weekends.

In today’s implausibly spectacular Friday Box Office report…

  • Superman tops in North America with a good-enough $17 million Friday.

  • Demon Slayer: Infinity Train arrives in Japan and shatters box office records.

  • Eddington tanks, as frankly expected, for what should be a “one for me” from A24.

  • Shocker: Kids don’t care about Smurfs.

  • I know what you didn’t see in theaters this weekend.

  • Jurassic World Rebirth continues to hold better than Jurassic World Dominion.

  • And more…!
