Knives Out is holding up very well to begin its second weekend, registering $4.138 million on Friday and giving it a 10-day domestic tally of $53.5 million thus far. The Rian Johnson film is targeting a sophomore frame of $14.2 million as strong word of mouth continues to propel it.
Queen & Slim posted $1.93 million in third place on Friday, bringing its own 10-day domestic haul to a healthy $22.3 million. The prestige title from director Melina Matsoukas continues to generate positive word of mouth as a counter-programming option for adult audiences.
