Source: I will use BoxOfficeMojo's "Domestic Box Office For February 2024"

https://www.boxofficemojo.com/month/february/2024/?grossesOption=calendarGrosses. This tracks the total (domestic) gross for each movie within the month of February.

For context:

  • At the time of question creation, "Bob Marley: One Love" ranks #1, having grossed $54,420,777 through February 20th.

  • However, that $54M is currently smaller than the combined gross of "Argylle" ($38,207,550) and "Madame Web" ($27,783,405).

  • Thus, if February ended today, this question would resolve NO (the question is whether it can "catch up" by the end of February).

  • "Argylle" and "Madame Web" seem most likely to be the #2 & #3 highest grossing movies, but this question resolves NO if any two movies meet this criteria.

The dailies for the last day in February have updated.

  • Bob Marley: $75,341,080

  • Argylle: $42,568,805

  • Madame Web: $37,241,516

$42,568,805 + $37,241,516 > $79.8M > $75,341,080 , thus Bob Marley does not have larger gross than any two other films in February combined, and this resolves NO.

(I had hoped this might be close, but Bob Marley's 2nd weekend drop was bigger than I expected)
