USA box office for the 8th weekend 2017-2026

 
USA box office on the 8th weekend of 2026 is down 8% compared to last year when Captain America: Brave New World was the top-grossing movie.  This year GOAT is the #1 movie this weekend. 

And it's down 51% from a 2018 peak when Black Panther ruled the box office for the second weekend in a row.  
 

Variety, 2/22/2026

Rebecca Rubin reports on 'excuses, excuses' for an anemic box office:
“The domestic box office would be a point or two higher if it weren’t for the harsh weather during the last month, and another blizzard is arriving on the East Coast right now,” says David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research. However, “there’s a good opportunity to build momentum over the next six weeks.” 
Moviegoing should heat up next weekend with “Scream 7,” followed by Disney’s Pixar film “Hoppers” and director Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “Frankenstein” spinoff “The Bride!” in March. That’s before Universal and Illumination’s “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” is poised to deliver 2026’s first major blockbuster in early April. Mario and Luigi to the rescue!
