The Super Bowl weekend is always quiet at the box office, as studios avoid releasing big stuff here. As such, Send Help got to repeat at #1 for the second week in a row. Despite that, some films got to over-perform projections, including Solo Mio, Stray Kids, and Dracula. The only big loser was The Strangers: Chapter 3, which flopped to the surprise of absolutely no one.

The Top 10 earned a combined $49 million this weekend. That's up 5.9% from last year, when Dog Man repeated at #1, and Heart Eyes and Love Hurts opened.

20th Century Studios' Send Help remained at #1 with $9 million. That's a 53% drop, which isn't quite terrible considering Super Bowl deflated the weekend. Through 10 days, the film has earned $34.8 million, and it seems like it should hit over $50 million domestically by the end of its run.

From time to time, Angel Studios has a film that over-performs projections. It rarely happens, but this was that occassion, as the Kevin James-led Solo Mio managed to hit second place with $7 million in 3,052 theaters. Quite impressive, to be honest. Given strong reception, this could hit $20 million, assuming it's not consumed by the incoming releases.

Unsurprisingly, Markiplier's Iron Lung saw a steep drop in its second weekend. It collapsed 63%, earning $6.7 million this weekend. Nevertheless, that's not actually a bad drop, considering other titles could drop as high as 70%. Through 10 days, the film has earned $31.5 million so far.

Bleecker Street's Stray Kids: The DominATE experience managed to hit fourth place with a great $5.6 million in 1,724 theaters. That's one of the studio's biggest ever debuts. Nevertheless, it's not gonna last long, given how front-loaded it was: 54% of the weekend's gross came from Friday.

In fifth place, Vertical's release of Luc Besson's Dracula debuted with $4 million in 2,050 theaters. That's not a lot of money, but it's Vertical's biggest ever debut. In fact, with just this weekend, Dracula is already Vertical's biggest film domestically, finally overtaking Gotti ($4.2 million). Although with some competition, it'd be a surprise if it lasted long in theaters.

Zootopia 2 had the best drop in the Top 10, despite the Super Bowl's presence. It eased just 32% this weekend, adding $4 million. The film has earned a crazy $414.5 million domestically, and it's definitely gonna pass A Minecraft Movie ($424 million) to become 2025's highest grossing film.

In seventh place, Lionsgate's The Strangers: Chapter 3 flopped with just $3.4 million in 2,565 theaters. That's a rough 41% drop from Chapter 2 ($5.8 million), which was already 51% below Chapter 1 ($11.8 million).

Another unsurprising result. For some reason, Lionsgate really believed that a Strangers trilogy would be an easy profit. And to be fair, they were correct; they're ultra-cheap films (a combined $20 million for the whole trilogy), so they'll probably make some slight profit. But what's clear is that there's absolutely zero good will left on this franchise. Each passing film has been worse received than the prior film, and it looks like they saved the absolutely worst for last.

According to Lionsgate, 53% of the audience was male, and 32% was in the 25-34 demographic. Critics destroyed the film with a brutal 16% on RT, and the audience pretty much agreed. The audience gave the film a horrible "D" on CinemaScore, the worst in the franchise. Even for horror, that's a terrible grade. Given its low debut and the fact that it will be facing severe competition, it'd be a surprise if it made it past $8 million domestically. But at least this left a mark, for it'll be named in the "worst trilogies of all time" lists.

Avatar: Fire and Ash dropped 39%, adding $3.4 million this weekend. That takes its domestic total to $391.5 million.

In ninth place, Black Bear's Shelter dropped 55%, adding $2.4 million. Through 10 days, the film has earned a weak $10 million, and it doesn't have much left in the gas tank.

Rounding out the Top 10 was Amazon MGM's Melania, falling all the way from the third spot. After its poor debut last week, the film also had the worst drop in the Top 10. It collapsed a poor 67%, earning just $2.3 million this weekend. Seems that despite the "glowing" word of mouth from its niche fans, the rest of the world was just fine ignoring it. Through 10 days, the film has earned a poor $13.3 million, and it will miss $20 million.

Just outside the Top 10, another Amazon MGM title. Mercy continues fizzling out, dropping 59% and earning just $1.8 million. The film has earned a meager $22.6 million so far.

The Housemaid dropped 51% for a $1.7 million weekend. That takes its domestic total to $123.5 million.

A24 expanded the Charli XCX mockumentary The Moment to 581 theaters, and it earned $1.6 million. That takes its domestic total to $2.2 million.

A24's Marty Supreme dropped 51%, adding $1.3 million. The film has amassed $93.2 million, and it looks like it might fall short of hitting $100 million domestically.

A24 released Pillion in 4 theaters, where it earned $241,769. That translates to a very strong $60,442 per-theater average. The film has already earned $1.5 million in the UK back in November, and it will continue expanding over the next few weeks.

OVERSEAS

Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience debuted with $14.2 million overseas, for a $19.9 million worldwide debut. The best debuts were in Mexico ($2.1M), Germany ($1.6M), the UK ($1.4M), Italy ($800K), Spain ($600K), Brazil ($600K), France ($500K), Peru ($400K), Chile ($400K), Australia ($400K), Argentina ($300K), and Poland ($300K). These are very impressive debuts, considering it didn't have a lot of screenings in some markets. If there's one place where it surprisingly flopped was Korea, with just $227K.

With $14.7 million overseas, The Housemaid has crossed $350 million worldwide. It's nearing $40 million in the UK, and $35.8 million in France.

Zootopia 2 has hit another milestone. With $12.8 million overseas, it has crossed the $1.8 billion milestone worldwide. It's already the ninth highest grossing film worldwide, and the fifth biggest overseas.

Avatar: Fire and Ash added $12.2 million overseas, taking its worldwide total to $1.439 billion.

Hamnet has added $6.8 million overseas, taking its worldwide total to a dazzling $70.6 million. Unsurprisingly, the UK has been its biggest market with $22.7 million, overtaking the domestic market. Given that it still has some markets left and with great holds, it definitely looks like the film has a chance to cross $100 million worldwide. A huge win for adult dramas.

Send Help has added $6.3 million overseas, crossing $50 million worldwide in the process. It debuted in the UK with a pretty good $2.2 million. Best markets are Mexico ($2.3M), the UK ($2.2M), Australia ($1.6M), Germany ($900K), Japan ($800K), Italy ($800k), Saudia Arabia ($700K), Spain ($700k), Netherlands ($600K) and Korea ($500K).

With $147 million worldwide, Marty Supreme has surpassed Everything Everywhere All At Once to become A24's highest grossing film. Let's see how high it can go.

FILMS THAT ENDED THEIR RUN THIS WEEK

Movie Release Date Studio Domestic Opening Domestic Total Worldwide Total Budget Greenland 2: Migration Jan/9 Lionsgate $8,401,148 $17,770,308 $25,841,231 $90M Did you know there was a Greenland sequel in theaters? Or that there was a first Greenland movie in the first place? Cause Greenland 2: Migration has closed after just 4 weeks with an abysmal $25 million worldwide, failing to come anywhere close to its $90 million budget. Gerard Butler may be a recognizable name, but he sure has a lot of big flops to his name.

THIS WEEKEND

It's a very busy weekend, with FOUR films opening in wide release.

The buzziest title is WB's Wuthering Heights, the new film from Emerald Fennell and starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. An adaptation of the novel by Emily Brontë, although this will clearly take a lot of liberties with the story (after all, the title is in quotation marks). So far, everything has looked pretty good, and it's the kind of film that could strike a chord with audiences over St. Valentine's Day. Whatever happens after the weekend, however, it's up to word of mouth.

Sony is releasing their new animated film Goat, following an anthropomorphic goat named Will Harris who aspires to become the greatest of all time at a basketball-like sport known as roarball. It marks Sony Pictures Animation's first theatrical release since Across the Spider-Verse, and it should benefit from a 2-month absence of notable animated films.

Amazon MGM is releasing crime thriller Crime 101, starring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Nick Nolte, and Halle Berry. The movie looks like slick fun, but it remains to be seen if Hemsworth will turn his luck around, given that he has starred in a lot of failures outside the MCU.

And finally, Gore Verbinski is returning after almost a decade with a new film, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. The film stars Sam Rockwell, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chaudhry, Tom Taylor, and Juno Temple, and follows a man from the future who travels to the past and recruits the patrons of a Los Angeles diner he arrives in to help combat a rogue artificial intelligence. The film has great reviews on its side (93% on RT), but Briarcliff is not a great distributor for films.

For the third week in a row, The Rip has stayed at #1, with 14.6 million views. That takes its 17-day total to 96.6 million views. It's nearing 100 million views, although it seems cracking the all-time Top 10 will be a bit complicated.

The documentary Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart kept the second spot with 9.6 million views, for a running total of 25.5 million views.

Indeed, KPop Demon Hunters is not showing any signs of stopping. On its 33rd week, the film is still in the Top 10, barely even dropping from last week. Last Sunday, the film won the Grammy for Best Song Written for Visual Media, becoming the first K-pop song to win a Grammy. Next sight: the Oscar.

In ninth place, rom-com People We Meet on Vacation added 4.5 million views, taking its 24-day total to 54.3 million views.
