The audience for this is older people and stoners. Reggie was was a fad 50 years ago.
Madame Web has a younger audience, mostly female and under 30. The projection below seems backwards.

Paramount’s musical biopic Bob Marley: One Love will tower over Sony/Marvel’s Madame Web with an expected gross of $30 million-$35 million compared to the Marvel pic’s $20M-$25M over the six-day Valentine’s Day-Presidents Day stretch.

Moviegoing is slowly getting back into fashion, with Paramount’s Bob Marley: One Love biopic seeing an estimated $12 million on Wednesday. That’s a record for a movie playing on a midweek Valentine’s Day, besting the $11.6M made by the 2012 Channing Tatum-Rachel McAdams romance The Vow.

THURSDAY UPDATE: Paramount’s Bob Marley: One Love was bigger than projected yesterday earning $14M; the best Valentine’s Day mid-week take ever. Audiences loved it more than critics with an A CinemaScore and 5 stars on Screen Engine/Comscore’s PostTrak and an 80% definite recommend.

Midweek Valentines record feels like a cherry picked goal line that has never been a benchmark before. Not new to this movie, but something I've heard more recently, regarding somewhat meaningless benchmarks to give the impression that a movie is doing well.
