This weekend, major Hollywood studios held back on new releases, creating an opportunity for independent films to shine.
A24's thriller 'Heretic' and Lionsgate's 'The Best Christmas Pageant Ever' are vying for second place, while Sony's 'Venom: The Last Dance' continues its reign at the top.
'Venom: The Last Dance' added $3.9 million on Friday and is expected to reach $14 million for the weekend, surpassing $100 million in North America.
Meanwhile, 'Heretic' is predicted to earn $10.8 million over the three-day period, which would make it one of A24's biggest opening weekends.
