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.
The weekend box office saw The Beekeeper taking first place with $7.4M, marking the lowest frame since February 2022, as no major wide releases hit theaters for the second consecutive weekend. Mean Girls landed in second place with $7.3M, while Wonka, Migration, and Anyone But You rounded out the top five. The total estimated box office for the weekend was $59.8M, the lowest in almost two years. Additionally, several films saw increased screen counts and box office boosts following the Academy Awards nominations.
The box office is seeing a close race between Paramount's "Mean Girls" and Amazon MGM's "The Beekeeper" for the top spot, with both films expected to earn around $7.3M to $7.4M this weekend. With no wide releases, expansions of Oscar Best Picture nominees are the main focus, with significant jumps in weekend percentages for several films. The overall box office is down from last weekend, but not as low as previous years, and the upcoming release of "Argylle" is expected to inject some energy back into the market. Additionally, Bollywood film "Fighter" and the Jenna Ortega-starring "Miller's Girl" are contributing to the weekend box office.
Mean Girls continues to dominate the weekend box office, making $11.7 million in its second week for a total of $50 million, while The Beekeeper trails behind with $8 million for a total of $31 million. Wonka holds third place with a total of $187 million, followed by Anyone But You and Migration. Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom and space thriller I.S.S. round out the top 10, with Poor Things making $2 million in its seventh week.
"Wonka" maintains its lead at the box office with a $15.5 million weekend, while "Night Swim" opens solidly with $12.5 million despite mixed reviews. "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom," "Migration," and "Anyone But You" are expected to land in the $9.5-10.5 million range, with "Aquaman" set to surpass "The Flash." "The Boys in the Boat" and "The Color Purple" follow, with the latter experiencing a steep drop despite a strong debut. "The Iron Claw" and "Ferrari" round out the top nine with $4.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
Gran Turismo takes first place at the weekend box office with $17.3 million in ticket sales, narrowly beating out Barbie's $17.1 million. Gran Turismo's global total now stands at $53.8 million, while Barbie's global total has reached $1.34 billion. Blue Beetle, Oppenheimer, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem round out the top five.
"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" disappoints with a $60 million domestic debut, falling short of its predecessor's opening weekend. "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" continues to perform well, becoming the third highest-grossing film of the year in North America. Pixar's "Elemental" maintains a strong hold at the box office.
