February 23, 2024

Bob Marley: One Love

Bob Marley: One Love looks like a clear favorite to top the box office chart going into the weekend, although it has quite a bit of competition, with three new wide releases vying for spots at least in the top five. Demon Slayer: To the Hashira Training looks like its biggest threat from the numbers we’ve seen so far. More...

Bob Marley: One Love

Bob Marley: One Love made a huge splash on Wednesday when it had the best mid-week opening day ever for a Valentine’s Day release.

Argylle

Argylle will almost certainly end this weekend at the top of the box office chart, but it looks as though it will struggle to live up to its potential. After posting just $1.7 million in previews on Thursday it will need to come storming back over the next few days to reach a respectable opening number. The Chosen: Season 4, Episodes 1–3 wasn’t far behind yesterday, earning $1.4 million on its first day in theaters. While it isn’t expected to have the legs to challenge Argylle, it should at least land a decent opening in the top 10. More...
