Oman today_ The horror film Weapons, directed by Zach Cregger, has already attracted significant attention even before officially entering the box office charts, thanks to overwhelmingly positive reviews and strong audience anticipation. The film currently holds a rare perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 49 published reviews—an uncommon achievement in the horror genre.
Reports suggest that Weapons has had a strong start at the box office, with early estimates projecting opening revenues between $30 to $40 million. According to Fandango, it has also become the second highest-grossing horror title of 2025 in terms of ticket pre-sales, surpassing major upcoming releases like 28 Years Later and Final Destination: Bloodlines.
The story follows a teacher, played by Julia Garner, who is confronted with the mysterious disappearance of her students. Josh Brolin plays the father of one of the missing children, determined to uncover the truth. The cast also includes Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Kerri Christopher, Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan.
Produced on a $42 million budget, Weapons is showing strong early momentum and could become one of the most successful horror films of the year—provided it maintains this pace in the days ahead.
