'Verity' leads box office with $32.6M debut
Amazon MGM Studios’ film 'Verity' led the U.S. box office this weekend, earning an estimated $32.6 million in its opening frame. Despite being the top performer, overall moviegoing remained weak as total domestic ticket sales for the weekend came to around $99 million, falling short of the $100 million mark. The film's strong debut highlights Amazon’s growing influence in theatrical releases but also underscores a broader trend of subdued audience turnout at cinemas. The lackluster performance across other films suggests ongoing challenges for the box office amid shifting consumer preferences and competition from streaming platforms.
