Tyler Perry's Boo 2! A Madea Halloween opened in first place this weekend at the North American box office, debuting to an estimated $21.7 million.
While the film didn't quite reach the $28.5 million debut garnered by its predecessor in 2016, Lionsgate's sequel, directed by and starring Tyler Perry, was well received by moviegoers, earning an A- CinemaScore.
This weekend also brought with it the debut of Geostorm, which placed second with $13.3 million and received a B- CinemaScore. Director Dean Devlin's disaster film, starring Gerard Butler, is shaping up to be an expensive flop, given its sizable $120 production budget. While Geostorm has done better in foreign markets, making $49.6 internationally, the film is still a far cry from being considered a success.
Only the Brave and The Snowman also debuted this weekend. The former, based on a true story about a group of firefighters, opened in fifth place with an estimated $6 million. Only the Brave reportedly cost $38 million to make and received an A CinemaScore. Meanwhile, The Snowman wasn't received nearly as well by audiences, earning a D CinemaScore and placing eighth with $3.4 million. The Michael Fassbender-led crime thriller reportedly had a production budget of $35 million.
Last week's box office champ, Happy Death Day, slipped to third place with an estimated $9.4 million, and Blade Runner 2049 followed in fourth place with an estimated $7.2 million.
