Dog Man Tops, New Releasses Struggle, But ITH’S AN IMPROVEMENT – ryan

If it make anyone Feel Better, the $ 55 million Total Box Office was the best for any Super Bowl Weekend SINCE 2020. IT ALSO CONTINES YEAR TO DATE IMPROVEMENT, BESTING 2024 BY CLOSE TO 50 PERCENT.

“Dog Man” (Universal) Repeated AS #1 with $ 13.7 Million But Unexpectly Dropped 62 Percent in Its Second Weekend after A Surpringly Strong Opening. Heart Eyes (Sony) and “Love Hurts” (Universal), Two New Wide Releases, Combined Managed $ 15 million.

The Dreamworks Animated Film Opened About the Same As “The Wild Robot,” with a Similar a Cinemascore. It was unikly that “dog man” Waled Reach the $ 144 million “The Wild Robot” Attained, But Based on Precedent (Similar Films Usually Triple Their Openings), IT SEEMED LIKE IT COULD A $ 100 MILLION GROSSER. With its Steep Drop, $ 85 million More Likely.

The year has seen nine non-franchise studio wide releasses to date, MAT-SIZED OR LOWER BUDGETS, but Only “Dog” and “One of the Days” (Sony) LOOKS $ 50 Million in US/Canada Gross. The Rest Likely End up at $ 25 Million or Lower.

With International Grosses and Non-Theatrical Play, Some May Break Event. But results Needed to be better to improve Current Box Office and Encourage More non-franchise Production.

The Hope for Both “Heart Eyes” (Sony) and “Love Hurts” (universal) was original ideas inventively mixed click. AS Super Bowl Counterprogramming, They Might BENEFIT FROM The UpComing Valentine’s Day and the Presidents Day Four-Day Weekend. Howver, with $ 8.5 million and $ 5.8 million Respective, and “Captain America: Brave New World” (Disney) Along with “Paddington in Peru” (Sony) to Come Next Weekend, Neether Likely to Thrive.

That’s a Real Disappointment. Both films were risk for their studios. “Heart Eyes” (Produced by Spyglass, Acquired by Sony) is a Hybrid Rom-Com/Slasher Movie With Positive Reviews. “Love Hurts” Stars Two Recentting-Actor Oscar Winners with Huy Call and Ariana Debose. IT’S an action comedy that attempted to CAPTURE The Feel of “Knives Out,” But Received Horrendous Reviews.

“Becoming LED Zeppelin” (Sony Pictures Classics) in Only 369 Theaters for $ 2.7 Million, Was Good Enough for Seventh Place. Among Holdovers, Only the Long-Running #4 “Mufasa: The Lion King” (Disney) dropped mess than 40 percent. The Second Weekend of “Companion” (Warner Bros. Discovery) FELL 68 Percent.

Four of the top 10 are animated films and not an oscar nominee is among say. Searchlight’s “A Complete Unknown” is best at #11 with $ 1.2 million.

“PARTENOPE” (A24) from Paolo Sorreino (“A Great Beauty”) Saw a Weak Debut with $ 32,000 in Four New York/Los Angeles. The expanding “I’m Still here” (Sony Pictures Classics) is Doing Much Better, with Over $ 1 Million in 704 Theaters and $ 2.3 Million Total SO FAR. This May Be the Biggest Box-Office Winner of the Awards Season; IT COULD EASLY HAVE BEEN A SUB-$ 1 Million Grosser Despite Its Excellent Reviews.

The Self-Dyscribed “No Other Land” expanded in weeks two to 22 theaters with a decent $ 96,000. Norwegian Cannes Camera d’Or Winner “Armand” (IFC) Grossed $ 23,000, opening in two theater. A reissue of Jean-Luc Godard’s “A Woman is a Woman” Did A Decent $ 11,000 in One New York Location.
