“Regretting You Leads Dismal Weekend Box Office in 2025”
Box office performance in 2025 faced significant challenges, culminating in a dismal weekend that marked the lowest grossing of the year. According to the latest estimates, the top ten films grossed between $41 and $43 million, falling short of the $40 million mark for the first time since February 2024.
Regretting You Leads Dismal Weekend Box Office
Securing the top spot this weekend is Josh Boone’s film, Regretting You, which earned $8.1 million. This marks a 40% drop from the previous week, but it improved from its second-place finish last week. The film’s total gross over ten days now stands at $27.5 million. This rebound is notable, as it is the first instance in which a film finished outside the top spot initially but rose to first place in its second weekend since 2024.
