USA box office on the 5th weekend of 2026 is down 3% compared to last year when Dog Man was the top-grossing movie. This year Send Help is the #1 movie this weekend.
And it's down 16% from a 2018 peak when Split ruled the box office.
Projections, which fluctuated throughout the weekend, launched above pre-release estimates of $3 million to $5 million. Amazon MGM spent a staggering amount of money on the film, acquiring the doc for $40 million and then shelling out $35 million on the marketing spend. Theater owners keep about half of ticket sales, which will make it difficult to justify the theatrical cost of “Melania.”

“As good as this opening is for a documentary, for any other film, opening like this — against $75 million in costs with very little foreign potential — would be a problem. But this is a political investment, not a for-profit movie venture,” suggests David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research. “If it helps Amazon with a regulatory, taxation, tariff or other government issue, then it will pay back; $75 million is insignificant to Amazon.” [emphasis added]
