‘Argylle’ flops, but still spies an opening weekend box office win
The good news? ‘Argylle’ is the No. 1 film. The bad news? It cost $200 million to make.
Hello! Welcome to The Box Office Report for the weekend of Feb. 2-4, 2024.
1. ARGYLLE
Weekend gross: $18M

The box office finally got a major shakeup this weekend, with two new releases bumping returning contenders like The Beekeeper, Wonka and Mean Girls out of the top two spots.
Argylle debuted at No. 1, giving director Matthew Vaughn another box office champion. It was his fourth movie to open at No. 1, following Kick-Ass ($19.8 million), X-Men: First Class ($55.1 million) and Kingsman: The Golden Circle ($39 million).
