GOAT Tops Box Office
"GOAT" has overtaken "Wuthering Heights" to claim the No. 1 spot at the box office, ending the period drama's weeks-long dominance. AMC Theatres reported a nearly 10% drop in attendance for the latest quarter, reflecting ongoing volatility in theatrical moviegoing.
- The animated film "GOAT" is a sports comedy from Sony Pictures Animation, produced by and co-starring NBA player Stephen Curry alongside a voice cast that includes Caleb McLaughlin and Gabrielle Union. - "GOAT" earned the top spot with $17 million in its second weekend, a strong showing with only a 38% drop from its debut, bringing its domestic total to $58.3 million. - "Wuthering Heights," the period drama directed by Emerald Fennell and starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, fell to second place with $14.2 million, a 57% decline from the previous weekend; its global box office total has surpassed $151.7 million. - The box office top five was rounded out by the debut of faith-based sequel "I Can Only Imagine 2" ($8 million), the thriller "Crime 101" ($5.77 million), and the comedy "Send Help" ($4.5 million). - While AMC's attendance dropped, its fourth-quarter revenue of $1.29 billion beat analyst expectations, and for the full year of 2025, its revenue grew 4.6%, outpacing the 1.5% growth of the overall North American box office. - Broader cinema attendance trends show a significant increase among Gen Z audiences, whose moviegoing rose 25% in 2025, with this demographic now averaging more than six theater visits per year.
