The September box office saw a significant 49% drop to $76.9 million. Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle and Him are neck and neck for the top spot, each projected around $15-16 million. Demon Slayer is expected to surpass $100 million domestically, while Him, despite a strong Friday, faces a potential Sunday drop due to NFL games. Sony's A Big Bold Beautiful Journey underperformed drastically, earning only $3.5 million against a $50 million budget, highlighting the challenges faced by original films lacking strong IP or positive reviews. Conversely, A24's Materialists enjoyed a successful opening.
