The movie "Masters of the Universe" was No. 1 at the box office on its opener last 5 June, raking in over US$ 11.75 million, according to Box Office Mojo.
The flick, which The Post called a "kooky toy movie," is based on the figures like He-Man and Skeletor, which Mattel released in the early '80s.
"There are barbarians with battle axes and swords, robots with laser guns, spaceships, a warlock with a skull for a face," its director, Travis Knight, told IndieWire.
"I do think it's kind of tricky material. In the sense that, it's weird. It's almost deranged. It's pure, uncut, Colombian-grade '80s excess. It's completely out there."
The sci-fi psychological horror "Backrooms" landed in second, with sales of over US$ 7.97 million on its second week in theaters.
The Post praised the film, which follows an alcoholic furniture store owner who stumbles upon another dimension, as "disquieting and smart."
In third was another horror movie, "Obsession," which took in US$ 7.47 million in revenue on its fourth week in theaters.
