The movie stars Wyatt Russell and Kerry Condon as a couple with a sinister, supernatural swimming pool.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>Night Swim<\/em> drew in an estimated $12 million in its first weekend in 3,250 theaters in North America against a reported $15 million production budget. Including international showings in 36 markets, <em>Night Swim<\/em> is heading towards a $17.7 million global debut.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cNot only did it perform really well at the box office, but it\u2019s going to make us look at every swimming pool with a little more trepidation,\u201d said Jim Orr, Universal\u2019s head of domestic distribution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tHorror movies are largely critic-proof, but with fairly negative reviews and a C CinemaScore rating, it\u2019s unlikely to repeat the viral success of last year\u2019s demon doll movie <em>M3GAN<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cWe don\u2019t have <em>Avatar: The Way of Water<\/em>, which totally dominated the box office a year ago, or <em>M3GAN<\/em>, which made that a bigger weekend,\u201d said Dergarabedian. \u201cBut it\u2019s a bit early to call it in terms of how the year is going to turn out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWarner Bros. and Universal placed third and fourth on the charts as well. Warner Bros.\u2019 DC superhero movie <em>Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom<\/em> earned $10.6 million in its third weekend, bumping its domestic tally just over the $100 million mark. Universal\u2019s animated <em>Migration<\/em> added $10.3 million, bringing its running domestic total to $77.8 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tSony\u2019s Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney romantic comedy <em>Anyone But You<\/em> landed in fifth place with $9.5 million, up 9% from last weekend.
