What today's IMDb movies reveal
MOVIEmeter finally broke the name-stable week. Resident Evil at 1 is a Monday-after-$60 million print. Oak Street at 2 is a digital-window title, not an opening-weekend rival. Practical Magic 2 sliding 2 to 6 is the prior weekend's leader yielding to Cregger.
Mayday falling 1 to 5 is Apple TV aging out of the top slot 17 days after the September 4 premiere. The Odyssey holding 4 on $4.9 million this weekend is a long-tail Nolan row. The IMDb MOVIEmeter API stamp 2026-09-21T08:01:37.804638 is a box-office reset, not another identical-10.
