If it makes anybody really feel higher, the $55 million whole field workplace was the perfect for any Tremendous Bowl weekend since 2020. It additionally continues 12 months so far enchancment, besting 2024 by near 50 %.
“Canine Man” (Common) repeated as #1 with $13.7 million however unexpectedly dropped 62 % in its second weekend after a surprisingly robust opening. “Coronary heart Eyes” (Sony) and “Love Hurts” (Common), two new broad releases, mixed managed $15 million.
The DreamWorks animated movie opened about the identical as “The Wild Robotic,” with an analogous A Cinemascore. It was unlikely that “Canine Man” would attain the $144 million “The Wild Robotic” attained, however primarily based on precedent (comparable movies often triple their openings), it appeared prefer it might turn out to be a $100 million grosser. With its steep drop, $85 million feels extra probably.
The 12 months has seen 9 non-franchise studio broad releases so far, most mid-sized or decrease budgets, however solely “Canine Man” and “Considered one of Them Days” (Sony) seems to go $50 million in U.S./Canada gross. The remainder probably find yourself at $25 million or decrease.
With worldwide grosses and non-theatrical play, some could break even. However outcomes wanted to be higher to enhance present field workplace and encourage extra non-franchise manufacturing.
The hope for each “Coronary heart Eyes” (Sony) and “Love Hurts” (Common) was unique concepts that inventively combine genres might click on. As Tremendous Bowl counterprogramming, they could profit from the upcoming Valentine’s Day and the Presidents Day four-day weekend. Nonetheless, with $8.5 million and $5.8 million respectively, and “Captain America: Courageous New World” (Disney) together with “Paddington in Peru” (Sony) to come back subsequent weekend, neither seems more likely to thrive.
That’s an actual disappointment. Each movies have been dangers for his or her studios. “Coronary heart Eyes” (produced by Spyglass, acquired by Sony) is a hybrid rom-com/slasher film with constructive opinions. “Love Hurts” stars two latest supporting-actor Oscar winners with Ke Huy Quan and Ariana DeBose. It’s an motion comedy that tried to seize the texture of “Knives Out,” however obtained horrendous opinions.
“Changing into Led Zeppelin” (Sony Footage Classics) in solely 369 theaters for $2.7 million, was ok for seventh place. Amongst holdovers, solely the long-running #4 “Mufasa: The Lion King” (Disney) dropped lower than 40 %. The second weekend of “Companion” (Warner Bros. Discovery) fell 68 %.
4 of the highest 10 are animated movies and never an Oscar nominee is amongst them. Searchlight’s “A Full Unknown” is greatest at #11 with $1.2 million.
“Parthenope” (A24) from Paolo Sorrentino (“A Nice Magnificence”) noticed a weak debut with $32,000 in 4 New York/Los Angeles theaters. The increasing “I’m Nonetheless Right here” (Sony Footage Classics) is doing significantly better, with over $1 million in 704 theaters and $2.3 million whole to date. This can be the largest box-office winner of the awards season; it might simply have been a sub-$1 million grosser regardless of its glorious opinions.
The self-distributed “No Different Land” expanded in week two to 22 theaters with an honest $96,000. Norwegian Cannes Digital camera D’Or winner “Armand” (IFC) grossed $23,000, opening in two theaters. A reissue of Jean-Luc Godard’s “A Lady Is a Lady” did an honest $11,000 in a single New York location.
