Bob Marley smokes Madame Web at the US box office

Dakota Johnson’s canvas struggles to capture its audience.

The biopic on the master of reggae, Bob Marley: One Love, wins its objective hands down and confirms the growing unpopularity of superhero films. The attractive outfits of Sydney Sweeney And Dakota Johnson can do nothing against the public’s depreciation of superhero films.

The ode to universal love rose to the top of the weekly US box office podium, with $45.6 million, with an average of $7,827 per copy, including a first day of $14 million. The documentary Marley of Kevin Macdonald had started at $262,000 for an average of $6,238 in April 2012 on only 42 screens.

In second place, Madame Web only collected $23.4 million from 4,013 screens. This recalls the unfortunate disillusionment of The Marvelswhich achieved the worst score in the MCU with 206 million dollars in revenue worldwide for a budget of 274.8 million.

The third novelty to enter the Top 10 are episodes 4 to 6 of the fourth season of the series The Chosen, offered in 2,228 copies. The serial project made $4.2M, or an average of $1,545 per screen. For their first weekend of broadcast, the three previous episodes, programmed on 2,248 screens, had totaled $7.5 million, an average of $2,667 per screen after a first Thursday at $1.4 million.

The last newcomer in this top honors tenth position, Land of Bad invests on 1,048 screens for a revenue of 1.8 million dollars, an average of $1,718 for its first day.

Those who continue their momentum, we find the undead phenomenon, Lisa Frankenstein who signs $7.7 million (-45%). Argyle accumulates $36.5 million (-24%) in third week. The rest of the ranking looks like last weekend, with the animated film Migration and the rom-com Everything except you.

Here is the American ranking for the weekend of February 16 to 18, 2024 :
