I will forever stand by that it should not have released two weeks after Superman. The next few months are pretty damn barren. But studios are desperate only release during certain windows. Look at 2027 now that Shrek moved. It's absurd they will cannibalize each otherF4 not even gonna sniff $300?

Not an outright flop, just not fantastic.

Good to see Weapons holding up well in Week 2 
The movie was going to flop regardless of when it was released as the buzz and word of mouth just isn't there. Time wasn't going to change that.
The funniest part about your comment is that you had some on Reddit insisting that it was going to do better than Superman and even overinflating the numbers until it came back to reality.

Weapons are Reloaded But Nobody Shoots Blanks: Weekend Box Office Results (Aug. 15-17)
After a wonderful opening weekend, Weapons is back busting with $25M - a fantastic -42.5% hold. Now, that's no Sinners, which posted a $45.7M second weekend, which was an impossible 4.8% drop. You just don't see that kind of hold for a horror movie. Still, a 42.5% decline for Weapons is an excellent horror hold.
Look no further than Final Destination: Bloodlines, whose $19.3M was a 62.5% drop from opening weekend. And I thought Bloodlines was both the better and more entertaining movie.
And 28 Years Later fell by a precipitous 67.5% in its second weekend. 
Weapons has skyrocketed up the 2025 horror ranks. Its $89M domestic total is the third best from a horror movie this year. It's only $1M away from 2022's The Black Phone's $90.1M theatrical total. Another movie I liked more.
Wash those glizzies down with a nice, Cherry Icee and enjoy the movie.
Bob Odenkirk's Nobody 2 was seen by almost nobody, and only managed a $9.2M opening. The sequel comes 4 years after the release of Nobody during the COVID-stricken 2021. The kung-flu did not stop Nobody from becoming a sleeper hit- making $27.5M after a miniscule $6.8M opening. That's $8.3M adjusted for inflation but Nobody only opened in 2,460 theaters to the sequel's 3,260. Not the type of audience expansion that Universal is looking for with a burgeoning franchise.
Apparently, so was the audience.
I'll catch you in two weeks when you land on PVOD.Notables
2016's Shin Godzilla received a 4K remaster and re-release this weekend. It made $1,625,927 from 1,290 theaters. It made $1.9M in its original theatrical run, including $458K from only 34 theaters in its opening weekend.

Can you imagine the profit these three movies made by themselves 
3 lower budget movies making a billion dollars
3 lower budget movies making a billion dollars
Where was it even released in theaters?
Didn’t know it was even a thing until the past week. It’s getting play in my local theaters but there’s been zero marketing for it.

It'll be close to 275. The hold this weekend was a lot better than previous weeks. I think 275 might be the max though
