Box Office: ‘Lisa Frankenstein’ Is DOA In Horrendous Super Bowl Weekend, ‘Argylle’ Remains On Top

  1. Argylle-$6.5M

How bad was the Super Bowl box office weekend? It was so crappy that Matthew Vaughn’s panned spy comedy Argylle won with just $6.5M and a 63% tumble from last week. Don’t get it twisted; Super Bowl weekend has historically been alright for business, but that’s not been the case recently and certainly not in 2024.

2. Lisa Frankenstein (review)- $3.8M

Well, this attempt at counterprogramming was a bust. Focus Features targeted young women with the Diablo Cody-penned horror comedy, Lisa Frankenstein, but this one earned just $3.8M in over 3000 theaters. Not a good look, even though nobody expected it to be huge or anything. I still believe this will fare better as a cult favorite years from now.

3. The Beekeeper– $3.4M/$54.7M

Anecdotal stuff here, but I went to see The Beekeeper again Saturday night with a friend, and our theater was maybe about half full. People are still loving this kick-ass Jason Statham flick, and I don’t blame them.

4. The Chosen S4: Episodes 1-3– $3.15M/$12.5M

5. Wonka– $3.12/$205.2M

6. Migration– $3M/$110.1M

7. Anyone But You– $2.7M/$80.1M

8. Mean Girls– $1.9M/$69.1M

9. American Fiction– $1.3M/$17.3M

10. Poor Things– $1.1M/$30.2M
