Three New Movies Opened This Weekend But Box Office Numbers Were at a Record-Low

This weekend saw three new movies of different genres all hit theaters, but that didn’t stop box office returns from being dismally low. Between the premiere of new arrivals such as Novocaine ($8.8 million), Black Bag ($7.6 million), and Opus ($1 million), paired with other movies such as Mickey 17 ($7.4 million) and Captain America: Brave New World ($5.6 million), the total box domestic box office this weekend amounted to only $51 million, the lowest of any weekend of the year thus far. Last weekend saw returns at $54.9 million, and the weekend before finished at only $53.6 million, but Brave New World’s opening weekend helped the box office total reach a whopping $153 million over Valentine’s Day weekend, with $88 million coming from the first Marvel movie of 2025.
