Super Bowl Weekend Box Office Sees Shifting Tides
5 Feb
Summary
- Super Bowl weekend box office revenue significantly declined.
- Major studios exhibit less interest in theatrical releases during Super Bowl.
- Several independent films compete for audience attention this weekend.
The traditional Super Bowl weekend box office has experienced a significant downturn, with revenue estimates for 2024 at $37M, and last year ranking as the second lowest frame at $54.2M. This trend reflects major studios' diminished interest in costly theatrical releases during the Big Game.
This year's Super Bowl weekend sees 20th Century Studios' 'Send Help' expected to lead with an estimated $8.6M, followed closely by the independently distributed 'Iron Lung' at $7.2M. Both films have been performing steadily at the domestic box office.
New independent releases are also vying for audience attention. Bleecker Street's 'Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience' is a wild card, with expectations in the single digits. Lionsgate's 'Strangers: Chapter 3' aims for around $5M, targeting women under 25. Angel Studios' 'Solo Mio' also targets a $5M opening.
