Zach Cregger’s highly anticipated horror film “Weapons” topped the Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis sequel "Freakier Friday" at the box office.

New Line's horror pic and Disney's family comedy delivered a double win at the late summer box office, as well as a victory for two challenged genres.

S enseless violence beat senseless remakes this weekend at the box office. Weapons beat out Freakier Friday with $42.5 million domestic and $70 million at the global box office. Zach Cregger’s follow-up to Barbarian is getting that See-It-Before-It’s-Spoiled bump, with a — forgive us — really freaky ending.
