After only one week atop the box-office weekend, Disney’s Snow White was relegated to second place this weekend by the slim margin of $1 million by newcomer A Working Man.

“A Working Man” posterAmazon MGM Studios saw its A Working Man debut on top of the box-office weekend top ten with $15.2 million taken in over the course of the last three days. Meanwhile, last week’s top film, Disney’s Snow White fell to second place, just a million behind, with $14.2 million, bringing the film’s two-week total to $66.8 million for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. A second debut this weekend, The Chosen: Last Supper, landed in third place with $11.5 million earned over the last three days. Universal Pictures saw its latest, The Woman in the Yard debut in fourth place where it made $9.5 million for the studio. This left fifth place to A24’s The Death of a Unicorn which brought in $5.8 million over the course of its debut weekend.

Sixth place was assumed by the 4K restoration re-release of Princess Mononoke from GKIDS, which made $4.0 million for the studio over the weekend. All of these debuts pushed Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures’ Captain America: Brave New World down four spots to a seventh-place finish over the weekend as the film added $2.8 million to bring its seven-week total to $196.6 million. Focus Features saw Black Bag plumet from second place last weekend to eighth-place this week as the film took in $2.2 million in its third week of release, bringing its total to $18.7 million. Also falling a bit in this weekend’s list was Warner Brothers’ Mickey 17, which lost five spots as it went from fourth to ninth this weekend. This gives the film a four-week total of $43.6 million. Finally, after three weeks in release, Paramount Pictures International saw Novocaine drop five spots to land in tenth place this weekend where it added $1.5 million, to bring its overall total to $18.8 million for the studio.

Five films were displaced from the top ten this weekend as last week’s sixth- through tenth-place films were all ousted. After two weeks in release, the Warner Brothers product The Alto Knights sports a total of $5.5 million, but failed to crack this weekend’s list. So too was the fate of Ketchup Entertainment’s The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie which, after three weeks, departs the top ten with an overall total of $8.1 million. Despite falling from the top ten this weekend, Neon’s The Monkey still sports a six-week total of $39 million. Similarly, although DreamWorks Distribution saw its Dog Man fail to crack the top ten this weekend, the film still claims a nine-week total of $97.3 million. Finally, after three weeks in release, the other film sharing the title The Last Supper, fell from the top ten with a cumulative total of $6.3 million.
