Move over Margaret Qualley, there's a new young hot actress that people won't pay to see her in theatres.

Jalen Hurts Can Still Win as Love Hurts Loses: (Anything But) Super Bowl Weekend Box Office Results (Feb. 7-9)
It's Super Bowl 59 so it's dumping ground time at the movies. And boy, was it a dump. So much so that Dog Man, which was dog food, held it down up too with $13.7M, despite multiple new wide releases. Good job, boy? Yes, cuz it's number one for the second consecutive weekend but it also dropped by a ghastly 61.9%. That's worse than Captain Underpants which fell by 49% in its second frame. But it has grossed $54.1M after two weekends on a $40M production.
Heart Eyes opened in second place with a somewhat disappointing $8.5M despite a B- CinemaScore, which is good for a horror movie. Plus it starts Mason Gooding, the human pin cushion from the newest Scream movies:
It's disappointing because it opened lower than Companion, which did $9.3M last weekend on only a $10M budget compared to Heart Eyes' $18M.
There was no love for third place finisher Love Hurts which opened with a measly $5.8M. That's even worse than Heart Eyes, which was made for the same $18M.
What's worse? Fellow Universal action film, Monkey Man, made $10.1M when it opened in 3,029 theaters last year. Sorry, Ke Huy Quan, who we're all supposed to like and did a lot of the stunts, but it obviously wasn't enough to get anybody in the theater. He damn sure wasn't enough to get me to go and see it. Ariana DeBose was also not enough to get me to go and see, who last we saw, was bombing in Kraven the Hunter when it opened with $11M in December. Is she giving these movies the kiss of death?
Mufasa: The Lion King made $3.9M to finish in fourth place. The running total is now $235.2M. And with that, it has now officially surpassed Sonic the Hedgehogs 3's $233M. Took 2 months but young Mufasa finally got the job done.
So despite Sonic 3 making $60M in its opening weekend, they both end up having two number one finishes and Mufasa comes out on top, which is how it should have been considering Mufasa is a $200 million movie. 
The previously mentioned Gompanion, took a 67.5% tumble down to fifth place with $3M.
Not many people took a companion to see this one, huh. we got to look for the silver lining, though. This movie was made on a shoestring $10M budget, and despite the Oba Femi-esque fall from grace, it has made $15.4M. And it's up to $26.7M worldwide which means that it should have already broken even now.

It's tracking around 90 million. Which is strong.

Black Cap Hulks Out & Sees Red; Collects Green on the Weekend we Celebrate the President's who are Dead: President's Day Weekend Box Office Results (Feb. 14-17)
Another Sunday and I'm outside shoveling out of a snowstorm. We must've got 7+ inches here. I think. Where is trained snow spotter, @Tony D'Amato when ya need him?
In any event, I wasn't about to go to the movies to watch anything, let alone Same Wilson's debut movie as Captain America. But my absence didn't really matter because Captain America: Brave New World opened with an even $100M over the holiday weekend, including $88.5M in the first 3 days. That's the 24th best opening in MCU history. There have been 35 movies released so far, all of which have opened at number 1. The fourth Captain America movie is, fittingly, the fourth biggest President's Day Weekend opening, behind:
- Black Panther: $242.1M
- Deadpool: $152.1M
- Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania: $120.3M
It is the fourth best opening of the non $100M 3-day openings in the MCU, $4M behind Spider-Man: Far From Home's $92.5M, a movie which went on to make $391.3M domestically and $1.1B globally. That's good company for the new Cap. However, it's a the first movie where Cap has not opened better than his previous movie:
- The First Avenger: $65M
- Winter Soldier: $95M
- Civil War: $179.1M
- Brave New World: $88.5M
The B- CinemaScore certainly won't help and may mean bad legs. Audiences only gave Ant-Man: Quantumania a B. That movie barely doubled its $106.1M opening weekend and finished with $214.5M. And the 3rd Ant-Man is probably the best comp as it was also released on President's Day Weekend and was well into its franchise. Can Brave New World outperform that disappointment?
One thing is for certain, it has outperformed The Marvels. The MCU's worst only managed a total domestic cume of $84.5M, which Brave New World beat. Its $192.4M global opening almost beat The Marvel's $199.7M global total.
Paddington is back for his third outing, with Paddington in Peru opening in 2nd place with $16M. The $13M 3-day is the second best opening in the franchise, ahead of Paddington 2's $11M but behind Paddington's $18.9M. Thank God for the rest of the world chipping in $115.8M, helping to take the sting out of that opening and $75.3M budget.
Heart Eyes had an incredible second weekend, as its 10M ($11.1M 4-day) was 20% more than it's $8.3M opening. That's unheard of for a horror movie.
Dog Man's reign is over but it still did well with $12.5M over the holiday weekend. Despite being a terrible weekday performer, it's up to $69.5M.
Fifth place goes to the Chinese animated Ne Zha 2 with $8.3M. This movie has already grossed $1B in China
