Another weekend has come and gone at the box office, and while last week’s new arrival,Dog Man, tookthe top spot, this weekend’s new arrivals failed to dethronePete Davidson’s animated family comedy. After previously earning $36 million,Dog Manadded another $13.7 milliondomestically to its total this weekend to hang on to the #1 spot, leaving it with a current domestic gross of $54.1 million to go along with an international gross of $11.9 million, bringing it to a worldwide cumulative haul of $66 million.Dog Manis lucky that none of the new arrivals had the mettle to challenge its #1 spot, especially considering the film dropped a whopping 62% from the weekend prior.
Finishing in the second spot at the box office this weekend isHeart Eyes, the slasher horror film starringScreamveteranMason GoodingandFast & FuriousstarJordana Brewster. The film opened with $8.5 million domestically, still $5 million short ofDog Man, and it has yet to premiere in international markets. Finishing just behindHeart Eyesat the box office this weekend wasLove Hurts, the action comedy starringKe Huy QuanandAriana DeBose.The film opened with $5.8 million domesticallyand $1 million from foreign markets for a worldwide gross of just under $7 million. Produced for a reported budget of $18 million, things are looking grim forLove Hurts, which needs roughly $36 million to break even. It also earned a score of 18% from critics onRotten Tomatoes, and although audiences approve of the film at a 63% rating, it still has its back against the wall to make a profit.
Rounding out the rest of the top five at the box office this weekend isMufasa: The Lion Kingin the #4 spot, earning more thanCompanionat #5.Mufasaearned more thanJack QuaidandSophie Thatcher’s psychological thriller despite it being in its eighth full weekend in theaters, withCompaniononly now following up its debut.Mufasascored another $3.9 million this weekend, bringing it to a worldwide total of $671 million, whileCompanionadded only $3 millionto its total, leaving it just short of $25 million globally. Disney’s prequel/sequel iscoming to digital platforms on February 18, which will likely mark its first official drop off at the box office after falling off at only a 38% rate from last weekend, less than any movie inside the top 10.

The first true blockbuster of the year is set to hit theaters this weekend;Captain America: Brave New Worldtakes off as the first MCU film of the year, and it would be shocking to see it not take the top spot at the box office.Becoming Led Zeppelinwill also expand into more theaters this weekend after grossing more than $7,000 per screen and is a major candidate for box office success.Osgood Perkins’ follow-up toLonglegs,The Monkey, is also set to hit theaters this week, and it holds major box office potential afterLonglegsgrossed over $125 million globally.
