NEW YORK CITY: 'The Nun 2' and 'A Haunting in Venice' virtually tied for the top spot in United States and Canadian theaters over the weekend, with a slight edge carrying the horror sequel over the latest Hercule Poirot mystery, studio estimates showed on Sunday.
In its second weekend of release, Warner Bros.' 'The Nun 2,' a spinoff from the studio's lucrative 'Conjuring' franchise, grossed $14.7 million. If numbers hold, that will give 'The Nun 2' the No. 1 spot at the box office for the second straight week.Kenneth Branagh as Hercule Poirot in a scene from 'A Haunting in Venice.
It was one of the quietest weekends in movie theaters this year, as Hollywood — which has spent much of the last two weeks promoting its films at the Venice, Telluride and Toronto film festivals — treads water in between the summer smashes of 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer' and awaits its top fall movies.
