NEW YORK — “American Sniper” shot down another box-office record: Its $31.9 million is the biggest Super Bowl weekend gross ever.

According to studio estimates, the Clint Eastwood film narrowly surpassed the previous top Super Bowl weekend draw. The concert film “Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: The Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour” earned $31.1 million in 2008.

Hollywood often avoids competing with the Super Bowl as movie-going falls dramatically on Sunday, but “American Sniper” has proven an unlikely sensation. It has now made $248.9 million in six weeks (and only three weeks of wide release), making it the most lucrative war movie without adjusting for inflation.

The competition was thin, as Hollywood held off any high-profile releases, largely ceding the weekend to football.

The Weinstein Co. animated adaptation “Paddington” came in a distant second with $8.5 million in its third weekend. In a virtual tie with it was Paramount’s found-footage, time-traveling thriller “Project Almanac.”
