Valentine's Day weekend in 2025 was different than most years. While the love-centric holiday typically sees studios drop some romance in theaters for audiences, Marvel Studios opted to use the three-day stretch to debut Julius Onah's Captain America: Brave New World into wide release. In 2026, things returned to a bit of "normalcy" with the the arrival of Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights – and while the ticket sales aren't nearly as robust as they were 12 months ago, the new Margot Robbie/Jacob Elordi film still managed to dominate the domestic market.
Even beyond the new #1 movie, however, there were some notable developments in the last three days, as the entire Top 3 is brand new, and Sam Raimi's Send Help successfully pulled off a minimal one percent weekend-to-weekend drop during its third Friday-to-Sunday in release. You can check out the full Top 10 below and join me after for analysis.
