USA movie box office: Second weekend of February (2017-2023)

 
The USA box office on the 2nd weekend of February 2023 was down 8% compared to last year when "Death on the Nile" was the top-grossing movie.  

And it's down 74% compared to the 2017 peak when "Batman Lego Movie" was the top-grossing movie.

The third movie, in which Tatum returns as a stripper with a heart of gold, wasn’t intended to play in theaters at first. The Warner Bros. release, which was directed by Steven Soderbergh and co-stars Salma Hayek Pinault, was commissioned for HBO Max and granted a production and marketing budget that corresponds with expectations for streaming releases. But once Discovery bought the company and David Zaslav took over as CEO, executives opted to give “Last Dance” a theatrical release because of encouragingly positive test screenings.

Super Bowl weekend, which is the biggest TV event of the year, is rarely a busy time for moviegoing, and this Sunday’s matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs is no exception. Overall ticket sales topped out at $51 million, according to Comscore, which is down from the $84 million generated in 2020 and the $75 million generated in 2019.
