"Lisa Frankenstein," a horror comedy written by Diablo Cody and starring Kathryn Newton and Cole Sprouse, debuted in second place at the North American box office with $3.8 million, while "Argylle" took the top spot with $6.5 million.

"Box Office Disappointment: 'Lisa Frankenstein' Fails to Spark Super Bowl Weekend Revival"

"Lisa Frankenstein" and "Argylle" debut at the North American box office on a slow Super Bowl weekend, with "Argylle" taking the top spot. Despite a modest opening, "Lisa Frankenstein" failed to attract a large audience, while "Argylle" underperformed for Apple as its first major theatrical release. The weekend's overall box office was notably low, with industry-wide sales down nearly 25% from the previous year. Analysts attribute this to various factors, including the unique attention on the Super Bowl. The box office is expected to pick up with the release of bigger movies in the coming weeks, such as "Bob Marley: One Love" and "Madame Web," and the anticipation for "Dune: Part Two" in March.

"The Beekeeper" and "Wonka" maintain their positions in the top three and four, respectively, while "Migration" takes the fifth spot.

"Apple's 'Argylle' Flops with $18M Opening Despite High Expectations"

Apple's $200-million spy thriller "Argylle" opened with $18 million in ticket sales, marking the tech giant's first box office flop. Despite leading the weekend box office, the film received middling reviews from critics and audiences, with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 35% and a C+ CinemaScore.

"Argylle," directed by Matthew Vaughn and featuring a star-studded cast, failed to meet expectations and is a departure from Apple's recent prestige filmmaking endeavors.
