Argylle is winning, at least if you consider coming first in a race as winning. Talking about the race, Argylle is practically competing in its prime and against kids and old men, quite a victory lap they will have. This is the best analogy you can have when it comes to this week’s Box-office.
This is also the slowest Box-office since 2022’s Labour Day as Top Gun Maverick manages to gross $6M. Though Super Bowl has a massive draw, the American event of the year manages to hit the BO with a massive hit.
Argylle, this week, grossed a shameful $6.5M and sits at the pinnacle. With a total domestic grossing of $28.8M, the film definitely questions Apple’s investments as none of their $200M grabbed a penny as profit.
Debutant Lisa Frankenstein managed to get the silver medal, with high expectations. The film managed to get a respectable $3.8M, though the expectations aren’t really reflected in the ratings, 6.6 on IMDb and 49% on Rotten Tomatoes. The performance does look questionable. Lisa Frankenstein has all the chance to go even more down in next week’s statistics.
Biology said, it is nearly impossible to move Queen Bee from the colony and if you talk about the Box Office colony, The Beekeeper is keeping its podium place and this time, shifts to third place. Grossing $3.5M, besides being a respectable domestic BO, it manages a staggering Global hit.
Then comes the religious drama, The Chosen’s Episode 1-3 as that grosses $3.2M and as the last bunch of episodes are about to drop, it will definitely move from the list.
Wonka is still fighting, the chocolate man is showing no sign to stop, manages to gross $3.1M and takes its domestic collection to $205M and the international collection to $600M.
Universal’s Migration managed to reach the sixth place and proves the strength of animated films. $3M in the weekend BO, grossed $110.1M and gifting one of the longest BO run.
Seventh place is occupied by Anyone But You, Sony did revamp the R Rated Comedy and that too with a $25M budget. $2.7M this weekend, the film manages to gross $80M in the domestic market.
Then comes Mean Girls as the BO itself was mean to them. Grossing just $1.9M, the film, though hits the budget off the park, manages to perform somewhat underwhelmingly.
Ninth and tenth place are occupied by two ‘art films’, American Fiction and Poor Things. Though they grossed the $1M threshold, people will definitely wait for their OTT releases, slowing down the statistics for Theatrical run.
