Melania documentary stalls in second weekend amid Super Bowl box-office lull

The Amazon MGM–released Melania documentary expanded to 300 more theaters in its second weekend but tumbled 67% to about $2.4 million, bringing its U.S. total to roughly $13.4 million and fueling concerns about its profitability given its $75 million all-in price ( ~$40M for rights plus ~$35M marketing). In the broader market, Super Bowl weekend drew audiences away from cinemas, with ‘Send Help’ leading domestic box office at about $10 million, followed by titles like ‘Solo Mio’ and ‘Iron Lung’ as studios leaned into TV ads during the game.

"Box Office Flop: 'Lisa Frankenstein' Fails to Spark Interest"

"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. Despite a modest production budget, "Lisa Frankenstein" received mixed to negative reviews and struggled to attract audiences on a slow Super Bowl weekend. Industry-wide, the weekend saw a significant decline in ticket sales compared to previous years, with analysts attributing the low turnout to a variety of factors. The box office is expected to pick up with the release of bigger movies in the coming weeks.

The domestic box office saw historic lows during Super Bowl weekend, with combined ticket sales at an estimated $40 million, the worst showing in over three decades outside of 2021.

Hollywood studios are gearing up for new movie releases, and despite the Super Bowl, there is still potential for box office success.

"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.

"Argylle" claims the No. 1 spot at the box office with $6.5 million, while "Lisa Frankenstein" struggles in second place with $3.8 million, marking the lowest-grossing weekend of 2024. Super Bowl weekend traditionally sees slow ticket sales, and upcoming releases like "Madame Web" and "One Love" are not expected to significantly boost moviegoing until the debut of "Dune: Part II" in March. "The Beekeeper" and "Wonka" maintain their positions in the top three and four, respectively, while "Migration" takes the fifth spot.

Super Bowl weekend is expected to be quiet at the box office, with the release of "Lisa Frankenstein" projected to earn between $5-9 million. The film's appeal to young women and the performance of holdover films like "Wonka" and "The Beekeeper" are expected to be key factors. However, Sunday moviegoing is anticipated to be significantly impacted by the Super Bowl, leading to a 50% decrease in box office earnings compared to the same weekend in 2023.
