BOX OFFICE: “Encanto” wins a weekend when nobody much went to the movies


“Encanto” earned another $12M, nothing to brag about as it didn’t set the world on fire opening weekend either.

“Ghostbusters Afterlife” sagged to $10M.

“House of Gucci” went into foreclosure, pulling in a meager $6M.

That piece of piffle “Eternals” clawed its way to another $3M.

And in fifth place, $2 million in ticket sales to suckers for “Resident Evil” rebooted.

That’s basically half of what every movie playing last weekend earned on this weekend.

Things will pick up, but how much is anybody’s guess as “West Side Story” is sure to skew older and “National Champions” is the only other wide release.
