Goat’ Tops Box Office With $17 Million Second Weekend, Unseats ‘Wuthering Heights

Strong family turnout paired with high audience scores gives Sony’s animated film the edge.

Overview

  • Sony’s Goat took No. 1 for the weekend with an estimated $17 million after opening second last week.
  • The animated film fell 38% from its $27.2 million debut and reached $58.3 million domestic in 10 days, putting it on pace to hit $100 million.
  • Warner Bros.’ Wuthering Heights placed second with about $14.2 million, lifting its totals to $60 million domestic and $151 million worldwide.
  • Wuthering Heights led Friday’s single-day gross ($4.6 million to Goat’s $3.86 million) but eased more over the full weekend as overseas holds proved steadier, including a $5.5 million second weekend in the U.K. and a $22.5 million cume there.
  • Context from reporting notes Goat’s strong audience reception and a roughly $90 million production cost, while Wuthering Heights drew more polarized reviews under a higher-spend theatrical strategy.
