"Unwatchable Opening: The Radical Approach of 'Lisa Frankenstein'"

"Lisa Frankenstein" opens quietly at the box office with $1.7 million, likely falling behind "Argylle" in its second weekend. The film is projected to have a soft debut with around $4 million over the three-day frame, receiving mixed reviews and a lukewarm audience response. Meanwhile, the overall theatrical landscape is expected to remain subdued, with no domestic releases grossing more than $10 million. "Argylle" is set to retain the top spot despite a 62% drop in its second weekend, while "Dune" is being re-released in premium large formats ahead of the sequel's debut. Other films like "Wonka," "The Beekeeper," and "Migration" are also vying for top spots at the box office.
