‘Weapons’ regains the top spot as the summer box office winds down
<p><block></p><p>LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Weapons” found its way back on top during the Labor Day weekend, culminating a summer box office that’s likely to fall right below meeting last year’s earnings. </p><p>Zach Cregger’s horror proved its staying power as a late-summer viral success and regained the top spot after last weekend saw “Kpop Demon Hunters” give Netflix its first box-office win. “Weapons” generated $10.2 million during its fourth weekend in theaters. </p><p>Universal’s 50th rerelease of “Jaws” also made a splash in theaters, securing the second spot.
