Mel Gibson's Panned 'Flight Risk' Tops Box Office With Disappointing Haul

Flight Risk landed the top spot at the weekend box office, but the Mark Wahlberg-led action thriller only managed to make an estimated $12 million domestically (per The Numbers). Unfortunately, Lionsgate’s second No. 1 movie of the year — Den of Thieves 2: Pantera being the other — premiered during the lowest-grossing weekend of 2025 ($66.3 million) thus far. Certainly, the NFL stole some audiences as both the NFC and AFC Championship games aired on Sunday, Jan. 26, but it’s still a disappointment for the industry. Historically, studios aren’t going to open any blockbusters in January because the month is typically a dead zone for the theatergoing experience. However, when compared to 2024, the numbers actually trended upward, even with the much-maligned Flight Risk leading the way. Over the fourth weekend of January a year ago, the box office’s domestic total of $56.6 million tallied $10 million less, even with a far more well-received title,

In The Wolf Man, Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr.) returns to Wales to reconcile with his father (Claude Rains) after his brother’s death. While there, he puts the moves on Gwen (Evelyn Ankers), the shopkeeper of a nearby antique shop. The night after he purchases a silver walking cane from Gwen, Larry is attacked and bitten by a vicious wolf, which he then kills.

The Wolf Man Movie Power Rankings

The original Universal Pictures iteration of The Wolf Man terrified audiences for the first time on this date 80 years ago, December 12th, 1941. Featuring one of the most iconic creature makeup designs in history (courtesy of the great Jack Pierce) and spooky performances by stars Lon Chaney Jr., Claude Rains, Evelyn Ankers, Maria Ouspenskaya and Bela Lugosi that remain unforgettable to this day, The Wolf Man was a runaway hit, helping kick off a second wave of creature features for Universal Pictures in the wake of Son of Frankenstein (1939), released two years prior. Chaney’s tormented titular werewolf, Lawrence “Larry” Talbot, would go on to hope for death across four follow-ups, all ultimately wrapped up within the grander Universal Classic Monsters world (let’s call it “Ucm” because that sounds hip) beget by the original 1931 Lugosi-starring Dracula. Though only two of them explicitly name him in their monikers, his plight generally
