Stuck between a lack of hit films and the annual drain brought by the Super Bowl, the U.S. box office has fallen to its worst weekend in 14 months as Universal/Apple’s “Argylle” needed only $6.5 million to stay at No. 1 on the charts.

Industry estimates have overall totals for the weekend sinking to $42 million, down 33% from last weekend and down 20% from the $52.6 million recorded during last year’s Super Bowl weekend.

To find a lower overall weekend figure, one must go back to the $33.2 million earned on the weekend of Dec. 9, 2022, the weekend before “Avatar: The Way of Water” was released and began its $2.3
