“ Weapons ,” a twisty horror film about a group of missing children, and “ Freakier Friday ,” a body swap comedy, delivered a potent one-two punch at the box office this weekend, lifting ticket sales as summer movie season draws to a close.

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.

Two films opened this past weekend, Zach Cregger's New Line horror film “Weapons” and Disney’s “Freakier Friday.” This weekend the horror genre won over the family genre as “Weapons” shot past “Freaker Friday” at the box office.
