"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.

The films captured the top two spots on the charts, with "Weapons" debuting to $42 million and "Freakier Friday" premiering to $29 million.

Big year for Horror… Sinners/Final Destination/Weapons all opened huge. Love that 2 of the 3 are originals, but kinda sad that Cregger (Weapons director) is going the franchise route with Resident Evil up next after coming out of the gats strong with Barbarian and Weapons.

Went to see the movie today at the theater. I was extremely disappointed. It's for me to enjoy a movie when I don't care about the characters or the plot.

Mainstreet, you don’t strike me as a big horror fan. Am I wrong here?

I liked it, but think it’s overhyped. Definitely a bit of a letdown after the director’s first movie Barbarian, which is one of my favorite movies of this decade.

Actually, I do like good horror films.

I had trouble caring about the characters or where the story was going. Then I started to watch the time. What happened to character development? I wanted to like someone in the movie.

At the end, it seemed like it couldn't decide if it was about witches or zombies.

Character development in a horror movie?

Character development in a horror movie?

I like to care about at least one or two characters in a film. It makes the movie more enjoyable.

Really weird but I liked it. Didn't love it but I liked it.
