'GOAT' Leaps to Box Office Crown This Weekend
22 Feb
Summary
- Animated film 'GOAT' earned $17 million in its second weekend.
- 'Wuthering Heights' followed with $14.2 million, a 57% drop.
- Family films like 'GOAT' are crucial for the recovering box office.
The animated feature "GOAT" has claimed the No. 1 position at the North American box office, grossing $17 million over the weekend. This marks a modest 36% decline from its debut. Close behind was "Wuthering Heights," a gothic romantic drama starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, which earned $14.2 million, experiencing a steeper 57% drop.
"GOAT's" performance underscores the vital role of family-oriented films in the current cinema landscape. Successes like "GOAT," "Lilo & Stitch," "Zootopia 2," and "A Minecraft Movie" from 2025 demonstrate their enduring appeal and contribution to the industry's recovery.
New releases struggled to gain traction. "I Can Only Imagine 2" debuted at No. 3 with $8 million, significantly underperforming its predecessor. "How to Make a Killing" landed in sixth place with $3.5 million, while the thriller "Psycho Killer" cratered at No. 11 with only $1.6 million.
