Talk about a fitting plot for the movie that’s winning what appears to be the slowest moviegoing weekend of 2025 so far at the domestic box office, as well as one of the worst in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era.
Paramont’s action-comedy Novocaine easily topped the domestic chart this weekend, opening to $8.7 million and it had no trouble icing out Mickey 17, now in its second weekend. However, it was hoped that the Paramount pic would do $10 million. The movie stars Jack Quaid as a new kind of action hero who is not so great at dishing it out, but boy, can he take it — thanks to his genetics, which make him feel no harm.
Duking it out for No. 2 is Steven Soderbergh‘s new movie Black Bag and Warner Bros.’ ill-fated Mickey 17 with around $7.5 million each. The latter has tumbled more roughly 60 percent from its opening weekend.
This past weekend’s box office takings were exceptional, with a total estimated domestic revenue of $54.7 million, which is quite rare as usually not even one movie manages to cross the $10 million mark during a weekend. In fact, only the Super Bowl weekend in 2025 saw lower revenue, at $55.8 million.
Marvel holdover Captain America: Brave New World remained high on the chart in its fifth weekend, coming in at No. 4 with $5.5 million for a North American tally of nearly $190 million. The Mouse House notched another milestone this weekend, becoming the first studio this year to see its films amass more than $1 billion in ticket sales.
Returning to the mix of recent movies, “A Looney Tunes Movie: The Day the Earth Stood Still” debuted with a box office take of $3.2 million, landing in the top five domestically, and “The Last Supper,” an independent film with religious undertones, followed closely behind with earnings of $2.8 million.
To say exhibitors are counting the days until Disney’s spring live-action event pic, Snow White, opens is an understatement. Lucky for them, it will be followed by the video game adaptation, A Minecraft Movie. Both are tracking to do solid business, with Snow White alone eyeing a $50-$56 million domestic launch next weekend.
More to come.
