The battle-tested Knicks had no choice but to vie for the second seed.

  Whether you've been present at the arena or tracking the action from afar, the Knicks' approach to their regular-season finale against Chicago on Sunday afternoon was crystal clear. There was no hint of strategic maneuvering for specific matchups in the Eastern Conference playoff landscape. This team, guided by their coach and propelled by their MVP candidate, viewed the Bulls' red jerseys as merely another obstacle to overcome in their quest for victory. While it may sound cliché, it's undeniably true that this sentiment encapsulates the essence of New York's 50-win season, culminating in an overtime triumph over the Bulls and clinching the No. 2 seed in the upcoming playoffs.

The movie 'One Love' continues to dominate at the box office, securing the top position for the second consecutive week.


The biopic "Bob Marley: One Love" continues to surpass expectations, maintaining its No. 1 position at the box office for the second consecutive week. Despite facing competition from two new releases and Sony's "Madame Web," which is struggling with lower numbers, the Paramount film featuring Kingsley Ben-Adir earned $13.5 million in its second week, surpassing its production cost of $70 million by grossing nearly $72 million domestically in North America.

Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green, the Marley musical biopic narrates the Rastafarian legend's journey during the creation of his 1977 album "Exodus" and leading up to his impactful concert in Jamaica. Despite the fact that Marley's greatest hits are almost 50 years old, the film resonates with audiences.

"One Love" outperformed "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba - To the Hashira Training," the latest installment in the Japanese anime series, which secured the second spot with $11.7 million. "Ordinary Angels," a faith-based Lionsgate film starring Hilary Swank, claimed the third position with an estimated $6.5 million.

Despite having fewer locations than "One Love," "Demon Slayer," and "Ordinary Angels," the Spider-Man spinoff "Madame Web" struggled, earning only $6 million in its second week and a total of just over $35 million.

In the overall top five, Universal's animated "Migration" secured the fourth spot with $3 million after its 10th weekend, while "Argylle" claimed the sixth position with $2.8 million. "Wonka" followed closely with $2.5 million after 11 weeks.

The week was characterized as relatively slow, according to Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst for data firm Comscore. However, he anticipates increased activity next week with the highly awaited debut of "Dune: Part Two," which is expected to end the top spot reign of "One Love."

The estimated ticket sales for the weekend, as reported by Comscore, are as follows:

1. "Bob Marley: One Love," $13.5 million.
2. "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba - To the Hashira Training," $11.5 million.
3. "Ordinary Angels," $6.5 million.
4. "Madame Web," $6 million.
5. "Migration," $3 million.
6. "Argylle," $2.8 million.
7. "Wonka," $2.5 million.
8. "Drive-Away Dolls," $2.4 million.
9. "The Beekeeper," $1.9 million.
10. "The Chosen," Episodes 4-6, $1.7 million.
