Well, the Kansas City Chiefs didn’t manage to win a third straight Super Bowl. But in the world of movies, one film was able to celebrate a repeat.
Dog Man barked to a second straight box-office victory. Granted, the win was relatively, um, ruff as wins go: Dog Man lost more than 60% of its weekend-over-weekend audience and earned just an estimated $13.7 million in North America. Still, it was enough to stave off a couple of newcomers to dig up another win. Dog Man has now earned a modest $54 million during its domestic run, and $66 million worldwide.
The horror flick Heart Eyes stared down second place with an $8.5 million weekend. Overseas, it added … well, nothing. So that means it’s earned $8.5 million overall. (And who says I can’t do math?)
Speaking of math, if you flip the numbers “8” and “5” from Heart Eyes’ $8.5 million weekend, you’d get Love Hurts’ own weekend take. The widely-panned R-rated action flick collected $5.8 million in North America. Which proves that while love may hurt, nothing hurts more in the cinematic world than hostile indifference.
Mufasa: The Lion King continues to hang around the box office’s top five, clawing up another $3.9 million to add to its already substantial bankroll. Mufasa has now earned $235.2 million stateside and $671.1 million globally. That’s a lot of money, and I ain’t lion.
Companion closed out the top five with a $3 million weekend. I’d add another terrible pun here, but I’m afraid that Plugged In has capped the number of wordplay instances I’m allowed. Have a great week!
