With a combined $54.7 million across all films, last weekend was the lowest-grossing weekend at the box office so far in 2025. That would be a bigger deal if it didn’t feel like every weekend was the lowest-grossing weekend at the box office so far in 2025. Major tentpoles like Captain America: Brave New World and long-anticipated auteur fare like Mickey 17 alike have failed to invigorate the sluggish business. Apparently ballooning ticket prices and truncated theatrical windows don’t inspire audiences to shell out $20+ for a movie they know they can most likely watch on their couch a few weeks later. Who knew!
