Weekend projections: A Working Man wins at box office as Snow White tumbles

March 30, 2025

A Working Man

We weren’t expecting a great second weekend for Snow White, but its performance this weekend is shockingly poor for a family film, with Disney projecting a 66% decline from its already lackluster debut. A Working Man has, in comparison, had an excellent run through the weekend to grab a surprise top spot on the box office chart.

Here are the official studio projections for the three-day weekend (click the image for a full chart of all films reporting so far):



Five of the top six films are new this weekend. The final result for A Working Man is a surprise given its $1.1 million in previews on Thursday. Action movies tend to have Thursday-to-weekend multipliers around 8 or 9, so topping $10 million seemed like the benchmark for this movie going into the weekend. The film has a B CinemaScore, which is pretty good for a movie like this, and word-of-mouth will have helped. It’s worth noting that The Beekeeper opened to a similar $16.6 million in January last year, after earning $2.4 million from previews. Statham fans seem to have chosen to bide their time a little on watching the star’s latest outing, but he can clearly still deliver at the box office.

In third place, The Chosen: Last Supper—Part 1 also outperformed expectations. This is easily the best weekend for the franchise, topping Season 3, Episodes 1 & 2, which picked up $8.8 million back in 2022.

The other notable performance this weekend comes from The Encampments, a timely documentary about the student protests at Columbia. Watermelon Pictures reports it is having the best theater average ever for a document, with a projected $76,419 this weekend. Our all-time record theater average chart confirms the record, with the caveat that some IMAX films made more in their early weekends back when IMAX was a format mostly found in science museums. Free Solo’s $73,572 average in four theaters back in 2018 previously held the record (although making an average that high from four locations is arguably more impressive). There’s absolutely no question that The Encampments has the best theater average of 2025 so far.
