Weekend Predictions: GOAT Slight Favorite on Post-Valentine’s Weekend
Box office analysts predict that the comedy‑drama GOAT will edge out competition for the post‑Valentine’s weekend, while the romance Wuthering Heights is expected to lose the holiday boost. I Can Only Imagine 2 earned $1.8 million in previews, but only $475 k on the immediate Friday, leading to a projected $8.6 million weekend haul. How to Make a Killing, driven by Glen Powell’s star power, is forecast between $2 million and $3.7 million, and Psycho Killer may just scrape the top‑10. Overall, the weekend is projected to be relatively quiet for theaters.
