Overview
- Sony’s animated GOAT led North America with an estimated $17 million, topping Warner Bros.’ Wuthering Heights at $14.2 million in a holdover duel.
- GOAT slipped about 36–38% weekend-to-weekend for $58.3 million domestic and roughly $102.3 million worldwide, while Wuthering Heights fell about 57% to $60 million domestic and approximately $151.7 million global.
- Both films carry reported production budgets near $80 million; Wuthering Heights is leaning on stronger international turnout (notably the U.K.) as GOAT seeks continued legs to recoup.
- Lionsgate’s I Can Only Imagine 2 opened to about $8 million and earned an A+ CinemaScore, as A24’s How to Make a Killing disappointed with roughly $3.5 million and 20th Century/New Regency’s Psycho Killer debuted around $1.6 million.
- Baz Luhrmann’s EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert delivered about $3.25 million from 325 IMAX screens with a high per‑screen average, and analysts say next weekend’s Scream 7 could lift overall grosses.
