‘Dog Man’ to Lead Box Office Pack Again as Ke Huy Quan’s ‘Love Hurts’ and Slasher ‘Heart Eyes’ Target Single-Digit Starts

"Dog Man" is expected to lead the box office pack as "Love Hurts" and "Heart Eyes" open nationwide.

“ Dog Man ” is expected to lead the box office pack as two newcomers, Universal’s action comedy “ Love Hurts ” and Sony’s gory slasher “ Heart Eyes,” join the fray. This won’t be the slowest Super Bowl box office on record — that dreadful distinction belongs to 2024’s haul of $42 million across all films, led by “Argylle” and “Lisa Frankenstein.” But movie theater attendance tends to stall around the weekend of the big game, which is regularly the most-watched television event of the year. Ticket sales aren’t expected to pick up in earnest until the following weekend as Disney and Marvel’s “Captain America: Brave New World” and Sony’s “Paddington in Peru” touch down in theaters on Feb. 14.
