HEART EYES, the well-reviewed new horror offering serving as the first Valentine’s Day thriller in numerous years, stumbled over the finish line this weekend with a disappointing $8.5 million in receipts. Considering that’s not even half of its reported $18 million budget isn’t reassuring for distributor Sony Pictures Releasing, but hopefully it gains steam when it hits streaming outlets.
Horror fans weren’t the only ones who didn’t turn out to cinemas this weekend. The action-comedy LOVE HURTS got bruised even worse than HEART EYES did, and Universal’s animated DOG MAN took a big shit by losing approximately 62% of its audience in its second week.
Lesson learned: Don’t ever open a movie on Super Bowl weekend.
