That path is still not out of play, given that only two November releases have reached $100 million in their first 17 days and failed to reach $140 million – Ridley Scott’s American Gangster ($130.1 million) and The Matrix Revolutions ($139.3 million). Last week, we had Jason Reitman’s film on a path to $140 million or higher. That was still good enough for second place and pushed its total to $102.2 million. Ghostbusters: Afterlife also took a hit this weekend, dropping 58% down to $10.4 million. The Top 10 and Beyond: Ghostbusters Chugs Along, Eternals Begins to Falter Now, Wolf has secured the worst PTA ($263) since May for a film on this list. Then in May, Focus’ Profile (which debuted at the 2018 Toronto Film Festival) made $730,290 in 2,033 theaters for a $359 PTA. In March, Long Weekend grossed $245,812 in 814 theaters for a $302 PTA. IFC’s No Man’s Land debuted 10 months into the pandemic in January to $58,969 in 254 theaters for a $232 PTA. Normally a limited release like this would not be worth looking at in this section, but by making just $81,000 this weekend, it now ranks among the worst per-theater averages of the year for films opening in 250 theaters or more. Rotten Returns: Wolf Secures Worst Per-Theater Average Since Mayįocus released the psychological drama Wolf, starring George MacKay and Lily-Rose Depp, into 308 theaters this weekend, and that was the widest new release not named Christmas with the Chosen. That is more than Ron’s Gone Wrong, King Richard, and The Last Duel made in their first five days of release. It then grossed another $3.5 million this weekend, bringing its total to $8.1 million. Christmas with the Chosen: The Messengers was #1 at the box office on Wednesday and Thursday, grossing $4.67 million in two days of release. A special two-hour episode depicting the birth of Jesus Christ was put into theaters courtesy of Fathom Events on Wednesday and went longer than its usual one-day/one-show presentation. But Encanto making its way towards $100 million shows hope that some families are starting to feel safer.įresh Surprise: Audiences Flock to Christmas with the Chosen: The MessengersĬhristmas came early for fans of the television series, The Chosen. We may not see higher animated numbers until maybe next Spring at the earliest – unless Sing 2 manages to break out.
For the time being, the film is just a day away from becoming the highest-grossing (fully) animated film during the pandemic surpassing 2020’s The Croods: A New Age ($58.5 million). Encanto is already up to $57.9 million and will likely stretch its way into Christmas vacation. Opening over Thanksgiving in 2012, that film had a $13.3 million follow-up weekend, bringing its 12-day total to $48.8 million. Those last three never made it higher than $103.5 million, but Rise is worth keeping in mind. They include Life of Pi, Murder on the Orient Express, Daddy’s Home 2, and Rise of the Guardians. That’s a key number to look at, given that only four wide openers in November since 2010 have managed to hit $100 million after a second weekend under $14 million.

King of the Crop: Encanto Eyes Pandemic Record as It Rules Post-Thanksgiving Lull Those who did manage to venture out didn’t shake things up too much, as all but two holdovers in the top 10 dropped more than half their attendance from the holiday. Folks begin getting ready for the holidays, and if there is nothing new – as studios are prone to offer this weekend – why head out? This is true now more than ever, as a study has suggested that nearly half the populace has yet to return to the movies. One thing that never changes no matter what is going on in the world is that the week after Thanksgiving is always a letdown for theaters.
