Domestic Box Office Hits Lowest Weekend of 2025 with $50 Million Total Gross

Changing audience habits and reliance on blockbusters contribute to a struggling theatrical market as original films and major franchises underperform.

Paramount Pictures' 'Novocaine' led the weekend box office with just $8.7 million, marking the weakest top film performance of the year.
The total domestic box office gross for March 14-16, 2025, was $50 million, the lowest weekend total of 2025 so far.
Original films like 'Black Bag' and 'Mickey 17,' despite critical acclaim, struggled to attract audiences, earning $7.5 million and $7.51 million respectively.
The ongoing shift in audience behavior, with many opting for streaming over theaters, is exacerbating the decline in box office revenues.
The industry looks to Disney's live-action 'Snow White,' releasing later this week, for a potential short-term boost in theater attendance.
