USA box office for the 4th weekend of February 2017-2024

 
USA box office on the fourth weekend of February 2024 is down 38% compared to last year when "Ant-Man and the Wasp:  Quantumania" was the top-grossing movie.  "Bob Marley:  One Love" was the top-grossing movie for the second weekend in a row.

And it's down 70% compared to the 2018 peak when "Black Panther" was the top draw.

To offer some context, Bob Marley: One Love didn't exactly have a record-setting debut. From Friday to Sunday, it brought in $28.7 million, which would have made it the 30th biggest opening of 2023 had it come out last year. That being said, it's clearly a film that at least a portion of the movie-going populace is excited about, and that's reflected in the soft drop in its second weekend.  
In the past year, we've seen some major blockbusters plummet as much as 70 percent following their hyped theatrical arrivals, but if a film can limit that figure to 50 percent, it's generally considered a buzz and word-of-mouth victory. Bob Marley: One Love wasn't able to limit its dip quite that much, but a 53 percent difference is a positive development for the release.
