The post-President\u2019s Day holiday weekend box-office is usually a slow one, but this year it was a bit better \u2013 even if some films got hit pretty hard.<\/p>\n

Sony Pictures Animation\u2019s \u201cGoat\u201d took the top spot with $17 million, dropping just 38% compared to last week\u2019s winner \u201cWuthering Heights\u201d which fell 57% to second place with $14.2 million.<\/p>\n

Both films have grossed around $60 million so far domestically with \u201cGoat\u201d passing $100 million and \u201cWuthering Heights\u201d $150 million worldwide this weekend.<\/p>\n

Four films had launches this week, with only the faith-based \u201cI Can Only Imagine 2\u201d making the Top 5 \u2013 even if it came in on the low end of tracking scores in third place with $8 million.<\/p>\n

Fourth and fifth went to returnees \u201cCrime 101\u201d and \u201cSend Help\u201d. The former saw a 59% drop in its second weekend down to $5.8 million, while the latter sadly didn\u2019t have that strange sub-1% drop it had last weekend \u2013 this time it fell 49% to $4.5 million. Their respective domestic totals so far sit at $24.7 million and $55.5 million.<\/p>\n

In sixth place was \u201cHow to Make a Killing,\u201d A24\u2019s Glen Powell-led darkly comedic revenge thriller, which did poorly with critics and a DOA box-office take of just $3.56 million. The film was essentially dumped with minimal marketing and production issues, and will now likely make its way to PVOD faster than most A24 titles.<\/p>\n

In limited release, Baz Luhrmann\u2019s concert film \u201cEPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert\u201d did a pretty good $3.25 million from just 325 screens \u2013 all IMAX. The title scored rave reviews with critics and audiences.<\/p>\n

Finally, \u201cPsycho Killer\u201d was released and utterly tanked. Landing in tenth spot, the film scored a rare 0% with critics on Rotten Tomatoes and very low audience scores.<\/p>\n
