Universal’s horror-thriller Knock at the Cabin, from writer-director M. Night Shyamalan, opened the door to $14.2M in first place.

The estimated audience was 58% male, 62% younger than 35, and only 39% white. The film received a disappointing “C” CinemaScore.

Overseas, the film opened with $7.0M in 60 markets, for a $21.2M global opening. For comparison, that global opening is lower than some industry projections’ domestic opening alone.




Paramount’s comedy 80 for Brady threw a touchdown, or at least kicked a field goal, with a $12.5M debut in second place.

20th Century Studios’ sci-fi sequel Avatar: The Way of Water saw a -32% decline to $10.8M and third place, its first frame where it didn’t lead.

There was still great news for the film at the domestic box office: it claimed the #12 eighth weekend of all time. Overseas, Water has earned $1.53B total, making its new total $2.17B.
