Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry's co-produced animated movie 'Goat' has surprisingly topped the box office in its second weekend, surpassing the Emerald Fennell-directed adaptation of Emily Brontë's 'Wuthering Heights' starring Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie. 'Goat' scored an estimated $17 million in ticket sales from 3,863 theater screens, while 'Wuthering Heights' took in $14.2 million from 3,682 screens.

Why it matters

This box office upset highlights the growing popularity and commercial success of Curry's foray into film production, as his animated family movie 'Goat' has now crossed $100 million in global ticket sales. The strong performance of 'Goat' also comes as Curry is sidelined with a knee injury, showing his off-court projects can still find success.

The details

In its second weekend, Sony Pictures Animation's 'Goat,' about a young goat's dreams of playing professional 'roarball' (similar to basketball), scored an estimated $17 million in ticket sales. This surpassed Warner Bros.' 'Wuthering Heights,' Emerald Fennell's adaptation of the Emily Brontë classic novel, which took in $14.2 million. During the debut window, 'Wuthering Heights' had decisively won the box office with $32.8 million to 'Goat's $27.2 million. But 'Goat' has now reached $58.3 million domestically and $102 million worldwide, suggesting it could have a long theatrical run.

  • On Feb. 22, 'Goat' topped the box office in its second weekend.
  • On Feb. 10, 'Goat' had its Bay Area premiere at the Grand Lake Theatre in Oakland.
