The Valentine's Day/President's Day weekend was certainly a busy one, with no less than five new wide and semi-wide releases joining previous holdovers in the battle for box office supremacy. While it was a great improvement overall compared to the previous weekend, box office revenue is still down compared to the same frame in 2025 when "Captain America: Brave New World" provided a significant boost.
The new "Wuthering Heights" adaptation starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi topped the charts, while the animated film "GOAT" came in second, and the crime thriller "Crime 101" opened in third. The numbers, overall, weren't as impressive as initially predicted for either film. Meanwhile, Gore Verbinski's "Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die" and the horror comedy "Cold Storage" had a tougher time finding their audience. The latter didn't even make the Top 10.
Read more about the weekend box office after the jump.
Warner Bros' radically reimagined take on the classic Emily Bronte novel "Wuthering Heights" opened in first place with $32.8 million from 3,682 theaters and $38 million for the 4-day holiday. It's a solid start, but also less than expected, as pundits kept hinting at a $40-50 million debut. Overseas it adds another $45 million for a total of $83 million in its first weekend. With a production budget of around $80 million, the film would need around $160 million to $200 million to cover marketing costs and turn a profit. Next week will prove if the movie has legs strong enough for it to become a sleeper hit. Both critics and moviegoers were mixed on the movie (60% on Rotten Tomatoes and "B" CinemaScore).
Sony's new animated feature "GOAT" opened in second place with $27.2 million from 3,863 theaters, and $35 million for the 4-day. Overseas it adds another $15.6 million for a global debut of $50.6 million. Not particularly impressive compared to other animated fare, even disappointing considering it cost an estimated $90 million to produce. These might just be the early days of a Sony flop, unless it somehow manages to hold on in the next few weeks. The bright side is that both critics and moviegoers really enjoyed it (80% on Rotten Tomatoes and "A" on CinemaScore).
In third place, we have the newly released crime thriller "Crime 101" starring Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, Mark Ruffalo, and Barry Keoghan, which opened with $14.2 million for the 3-day and $16.3 million for the 4-day. Another $11.9 million from foreign markets brings the global tally to $28.2 million. This is yet another disappointing debut for a movie with a hefty price tag. With production costs estimated at around $90 million, it's not a great outlook for the Amazon MGM Studios flick, even with strong word-of-mouth, which unfortunately the movie doesn't seem to have according to the "B" CinemaScore. The critical reception, on the other hand, has been very warm (86% on Rotten Tomatoes).
Despite the aggresive competition, Sam Raimi's "Send Help" is doing surprisingly well. The film finished its third weekend in fourth place with $8.8 million, which is only down 2.7% from last week despite losing 500 screens. The film has now grossed a total of $49.3 million domestically and another $24.2 million internationally, which adds up to a worlwide cume of $73.5 million against a $40 million budget.
The Top 5 is rounded out by the romantic comedy "Solo Mio" starring Kevin James, which is also holding on impressively. The film has raked in $6.5 million in its sophomore weekend, down only 7.1%. Its domestic tally is now at $17 million against a $4 million budget.
The sci-fi comedy "Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die" wasn't the hit Gore Verbinski was hoping it would be. Despite solid reviews (84% on Rotten Tomatoes), the film opened in seventh place with $3.6 million from 1,610 theaters. It wasn't a very wide release, but still. The 4-day holiday total sits at $4.1 million. The audience reception was generally lukewarm ("B" CinemaScore).
Meanwhile, the horror comedy "Cold Storage" starring Joe Keery, Georgina Campbell and Liam Neeson made its debut outside the Top 10 with $1.1 million from 1,041 theaters.
