Box-office: The Super Bowl turns off the rooms before Captain America's return

With an audience estimated at 117 million spectators, the Super Bowl Lix was of course the weekend event. It naturally felt on the crowds in American cinemas, which did not put the crowds.

In this slump, the animated film Dog Man Get out again in the lead, nose and beard of arrivals Heart Eyes And Back to businesswhich sign disappointing beginnings.

While waiting for Marvel

The Super Bowl weekend has never been a great moment for the American box office, and this 2025 vintage did not deviate from this sad rule. This is often an opportunity for studios to release their least interesting productions, and it is necessary to go back to 2015 to find a film that garnered more than 30 million dollars (American Sniper by Clint Eastwood).

In this moribund context, and after its nice start last week, Dog Man Records $ 13.7 million again for its second weekend. A correct decline of only 62% compared to the first week, which allows the animated film DreamWorks to finish for the second time on the highest step in the ranking.

Of a budget of 40 million, Dog Man A total of 66 million worldwide, and confirms its success as part of its modest economy. As a reminder, the next DreamWorkDS / Universal production in theaters will be the live action remake of Dragons Next June.

The horror / romance film Heart Eyes was one of the novelties of the weekend, and generated only $ 8.5 million for its launch. Produced by the entertainment Spyglass studio (the saga Scream), the film was not helped by average criticism, and will have as much difficulty in staying in the annals as well as entering its costs, despite its low budget of $ 18 million.

The other novelty of the week was the action comedy Back to business (Love Hurts In the original version) with Ke Huy Quan, preceded by a terrible reputation and catastrophic criticism (a poor 35 out of 100 on Metacritic). And the actor ofEverything Everywhere All at Once Confirms that he does not have the build to carry a film on his only name, since he generates only $ 5.8 million. An oven in good shape.

In the rest of the box office, Companion Fall in 5th place in the box office, collecting only $ 3 million for its second operating weekend (-67%). The horror and anticipation film with Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid should end her career below the $ 35 million worldwide, without making more than that.

The cinema event of the month is of course the new Marvel film Captain America: Brave New Worldexpected on February 14 in the United States. The new MCU opus should sign a start between 80 and 98 million according to estimates, resuscitating (finally) a bit of American rooms. See you next week!
