# Send Help Survives the Super Bowl Storm: Tops Box Office for Second Weekend Straight! Imagine a deserted island, a plane crash, and two unlikely survivors fighting for their lives—sounds like the perfect thriller to pull you away from Super Bowl hype, right?[1][2][3] Even with the Super Bowl dominating American screens and slashing movie attendance, **Send Help** refused to budge from the **#1 spot** at the North American box office, raking in an estimated **$10 million** over its second weekend.[1][3] Directed by horror maestro **Sam Raimi** (think *Spider-Man* and *Evil Dead*), this R-rated survival thriller stars **Rachel McAdams** and **Dylan O'Brien** as a stranded employee and her boss, turning corporate tension into pulse-pounding drama.[1][3] Despite the big game taking a "chunk out of the box office," as major studios avoid Super Bowl clashes, *Send Help* held strong, pushing its North American total to around **$35.8 million** (with global earnings hitting **$53.7 million**).[1][2][3] Why the staying power? Its gripping premise and Raimi's knack for tension have made it a mid-budget hit, outpacing newcomers in a quiet weekend.[3] Newcomer **Solo Mio**, a romantic comedy from Angel Studios, snagged second place with **$7.2 million** in its debut, while self-funded sci-fi horror **Iron Lung** claimed third at **$6 million** (totaling **$31 million**).[1][3] The top 10 rounded out with concert film **Stray Kids: The Dominate Experience** at #4 (**$5.6 million**) and holdovers like **Zootopia 2** still chugging toward **$1.8 billion** worldwide.[3] On the flip side, the **Melania** documentary took a brutal **67% drop** to **$2.4 million** in its second weekend (North American total: **$13.4 million**), despite Amazon MGM's massive **$75 million** investment—signaling potential flop status as buzz fades.[3] Studios like Disney's 20th Century clearly bet right by letting *Send Help* dominate.
