Box office shake-up as A Working Man takes first place, overtaking Snow White, which continues to struggle.

A Working Man Tops the Charts with $15.2M

A Working Man

The domestic box office showed signs of life this weekend, but just barely. As per Box Office Mojo, A Working Man, the gritty labor drama from David Ayer claimed the top spot with $15.2 million—enough to lead the pack, but hardly a blockbuster figure. While modestly budgeted and critically well-received, the film’s success feels more like a quiet win than a cultural moment. It highlights the unpredictable nature of the box office.

With strong performances and timely themes around union struggles and automation, A Working Man is connecting with adult audiences underserved by the usual popcorn fare. But without international appeal or franchise heft, its ceiling will likely remain low to mid-tier.

Snow White Slips to Second

Just one week after a disappointing debut, Disney’s Snow White fell to second place with $14.2 million—a sharp decline that only deepens concerns around the film’s long-term outlook at the box office. With high costs and soft legs, the live-action remake is shaping up to be a cautionary tale for legacy IP fatigue.

Despite aggressive marketing and a familiar brand, Snow White hasn’t caught on. Audience sentiment is lukewarm, and competition from original stories like A Working Man suggests moviegoers are craving something fresher than yet another Disney redo.

The Chosen: Last Supper Feeds Niche Appeal

The Chosen: Last Supper, the latest entry in the faith-based series, landed in third with a solid $11.5 million. Its performance reinforces the franchise’s reputation as a consistent draw among churchgoing audiences, especially during the Easter season. This series consistently performs well at the box office.

The film’s grassroots marketing and direct engagement with religious communities continue to be a case study in low-cost, high-yield success.

The Woman in the Yard Surprises

In fourth, Blumhouse’s psychological thriller The Woman in the Yard opened to a respectable $9.5 million. With minimal marketing and no major stars, the horror entry is outperforming expectations, helped by a strong hook and solid reviews. This genre often has unpredictable outcomes at the box office.

Genre fans seem intrigued by its grounded, Hitchcockian tone, and early word of mouth could keep it in the conversation for a few more weeks. Not a breakout, but certainly a win in its weight class.

Death of a Unicorn Whimpers into Fifth

A24’s bizarre fantasy-comedy Death of a Unicorn opened in fifth place with a lackluster $5.8 million. Despite internet buzz and a few viral trailers, the film appears to be struggling to find a general audience. Its offbeat tone and niche appeal may limit its runway, even with stars like Jenna Ortega and Paul Dano leading the cast. Often, box office performance for niche films can be hit or miss.

Unless it pulls off a miraculous turnaround via word of mouth, Unicorn looks more like a cult curio than a commercial success.

Box Office Predictions

Next week sees the release of one major film: Minecraft: The Movie, Warner Bros.’ long-gestating adaptation of the bestselling video game of all time.

Minecraft is projected to open between $55 million and $68 million—a strong range for a family-friendly, four-quadrant release. The brand recognition is massive, especially among younger audiences, and the trailer has sparked plenty of online engagement. However, awareness outside of the core gaming demographic is still a bit soft, and it’s going to need strong reviews to carry momentum beyond opening weekend. That said, it’s launching in a fairly open marketplace with little direct competition for kids or families.

I think it’ll do solid business out of the gate. My bet is on a $62 million opening—enough to dominate the box office and finally give 2025 its first bona fide hit.

As always, we’ll find out next week.
