Ghostbusters: Afterlife has haunted its way to a weekend domestic box office win by earning $44 million in its theatrical debut.

As reported by Variety, this "better-than-expected result" for Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a strong sign for the film that also collected another $16 million overseas for a global total of $60 million. While Afterlife's opening weekend ticket sales were less than 2016's Ghostbusters' $46 million, that reboot did not have a pandemic to contend with and also cost $144 million to produce – a big jump from Ghostbusters: Afterlife's $75 million.

In our Ghostbusters: Afterlife review, we said, "A delightfully lovely movie that will satisfy those who grew up with Ramis, Hudson, Murray, and Aykroyd, Ghostbusters: Afterlife will make youngsters fall just as in love with the new generation."

Marvel's Eternals secured the #2 spot with $10.8 million after securing two weekend box office wins in a row following its premiere earlier this month. Eternals has brought in over $135.8 million domestically and $200.3 million internationally.

Clifford the Big Red Dog placed third by pulling in another $8.1 million in its second weekend, bringing its domestic total to $33.5 million.

Will Smith's King Richard, which debuted in theaters and on HBO Max this weekend, placed fourth with a less-than-expected $5.7 million. WB had projected King Richard's start to be closer to $10 million.

In our review of the film that follows Smith's Richard Williams raising tennis superstars Venus and Serena Williams, we said that it "is a simple tale of triumph over adversity. The supporting cast shines, Will Smith excels, and while this might not be the full story, King Richard nevertheless works as both character study and feel-good sports movie."

Dune rounded out the top five with $3 million, bringing its $98.1 million domestic tally ever-closer to $100 million.

The Nintendo Switch is a great console, but if I have one complaint it's that there just isn't enough storage built in. Even the new Switch OLED, which doubles the storage of its non-OLED siblings, fills up pretty quickly. Thankfully expanding the Nintendo Switch storage is as easy as popping in a microSD card, and the SanDisk officially-licensed Nintendo Switch memory cards are on sale right now.

Nintendo Switch microSDXC Black Friday Sale

You can save a few more dollars by opting for the non-licensed SanDisk microSDXC cards. Functionally, there is no difference in them whatsoever. They're basically identical cards, but one of them is licensed by Nintendo and has Nintendo branding on the packaging and the card itself. The others are just stock SanDisk cards, exactly the same specs, but without the flashy packaging.

Nintendo has never forgotten its history as a toy-maker and Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit is the perfect blend of Nintendo's gaming arm and its past. This is one of the coolest Nintendo Switch gifts you can give this holiday, and there's a massive discount happening right now for Black Friday.

Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit Black Friday Sale

As you can see, the major retailers have already started the deals promised earlier this month by Nintendo. It's really a great deal on an absolutely charming toy. Basically the best-selling game console going right now is a first-person controller for one of the coolest R/C car set-ups I think I've ever seen.

Both the Mario and Luigi sets are available and on sale. They come with the kart itself, which has a tiny little camera mounted to it for the first-person view. Additionally, you get the game (obviously) as well as a charging cable and gates to use to set up your in-home course.

Up to four players can race at once, but multiplayer used to require everyone had their own Switch. Not anymore. Nintendo just randomly rolled out an update allowing for two-player split-screen play with the Mario Kart Live set. In other words, if you have two of the toy cars, you no longer need two Switches and two copies of the game to be competitive.

This is just one of the many really excellent Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals already live right now. The Nintendo Switch + Mario Kart 8 Black Friday bundle is already live, and the Black Friday deal on Ring Fit is rolling out at retailers, too.

One of Nintendo's weirdest and most wonderful Nintendo Switch accessories, Ring Fit Adventure, is on sale for Black Friday and the deals are now live.

Black Friday Ring Fit Adventure Deal

Ring Fit Adventure for Nintendo Switch has pretty much never been on sale before, so this Black Friday deal is basically like discovering Sasquatch, or the Loch Ness Monster. Such a sighting has been rumored in the past, but never materialized until now.

In all seriousness, Ring Fit Adventure is a great game that also happens to have some pretty awesome fitness goals built into the gameplay itself. It's been out for over two years now, and Ring Fit Adventure has literally changed peoples' lives.

It's an improvement over the Wii Fit accessory and game from the good old Wii days, and it's a legit great workout, too. Nintendo, being Nintendo, has managed to create a fitness app that's also a charming, fun, and most of all, a satisfying video game experience. It appeals to many different sensibilities at the same time, the hallmark of good design.

For example, maybe your motivating factor for playing video games is to progress the story. Well, Ring Fit Adventure has a story to progress. But maybe it's the feeling of achievement that draws you to video games. Ring Fit's got you covered. Maybe you just want a novel, and effective, way to get a workout. Great news for you: it's got that, too.

Whether you're getting this as a gift for someone or for yourself, Ring Fit Adventure is one of the best Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals happening right now. Considering the fact there was a point when Ring Fit Adventure was tough to come by, I recommend grabbing this one sooner rather than later.

Cyberpunk 2077 has dropped to $9.99 again in time for the Black Friday sales (see here). Currently, the deal is only available at Target, for PS4 and Xbox, but we're expecting other retailers to catch up soon and price match the offer.

This is the cheapest Cyberpunk 2077 has been for a while, and the biggest price drop we've seen on the game since its launch last December. For more Black Friday updates, make sure you're following @IGNDeals on Twitter.

Black Friday: Cyberpunk 2077 Now Just $10 on Xbox and PS4

Editor's Note: The state of Xbox One and PS4 playability is still rusty, so if you can, play on PS5 and Xbox Series X instead.

Cyberpunk 2077 is expected to get a next-gen update for PS5 and Xbox Series X in 2022, but the game is still playable on the consoles right now through backward-compatiblity.

All updates for Cyberpunk were recently delayed into 2022, alongside The Witcher 3's next-gen update. But, this could be a good opportunity to pick up the game cheap before any more free DLC or the next-gen update hits.
