Bright spots for the month — including Taylor Swift’s “The Release Party of a Showgirl” and Sony and Crunchyroll’s “Chainsaw Man” — were few and far between and weren’t enough to overcompensate for high-profile misses like Luca Guadagnino’s “After the Hunt” ($7.8 million), Disney and 20th Century’s “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” ($20 million), and Jennifer Lopez’s musical adaptation “Kiss of the Spider Woman” ($1.6 million).

Sci-fi sequel “Tron: Ares” ($126 million globally against a $180 million budget) and A24’s “Smashing Machine” ($19 million against a $50 million budget) were particularly expensive for their respective studios to produce and resulted in tens of millions of dollars in theatrical losses.

But movies of all sizes and genres, including the family adventure “Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie” ($68 million), Channing Tatum-led dramedy “Roofman” ($27 million), Aziz Ansari’s fantastical comedy “Good Fortune” ($14 million) and Neon’s supernatural thriller “Shelby Oaks” ($3.2 million), struggled to appeal to their target audiences.
