Variety says, "Football festivities and frigid temperatures across the East Coast and Midwest kept moviegoers on the couch and contributed to a glacial Super Bowl weekend at the box office."
1. Send Help $10.0M
2. Solo Mio $7.2M
3. Iron Lung $6.0M
4. Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience $5.6M
5. Dracula $4.5M
This year’s revenues topped out with roughly $60 million, according to Comscore. That’s not the worst Super Bowl haul of all time — that record belongs to 2024’s dismal $38.9 million.

The Super Bowl happened!
The Teddy Swims Concert at the Tailgate Party was great!
Green Day was great!!!
Nice easy listening version of the National Anthem! Good job Charlie Puth!
Hungry or thirsty at the Super Bowl???
It's $17.50 for a can of lager or a Bud Light Seltzer and 19 bucks if you want to neck something a little more premium.
Meanwhile, canned wine is $16 and it's half that if you want to get some water, never mind mentioning how much cocktails are.
Some are calling the prices 'hysterical', there are others who argue they 'actually aren't that bad considering stadium prices' and are close to 'what they've paid for a regular season game in multiple NFL stadiums'.
But of course, according to CBS, the lowest price tickets for the Super Bowl cost someone between $4,000 and $6,000, with the absolute cheapest price tickets costing $950 very difficult to get.

Be honest...how many of your co-workers have the Super Bowl Flu?

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - 1895, William G. Morgan, a physical education director in Massachusetts, invented a game he called "Mintonette."
We know it today as Volleyball.
The "Soft" Basketball: Morgan designed it to be an indoor sport that was less rough than basketball (which had been invented just four years prior) so that older members of the YMCA could still get a workout without getting tackled.
The first game was played using the rubber bladder from inside a basketball and a tennis net raised to 6 feet, 6 inches.
