For the weekend of December 31, 2021 - January 2, 2022, Spider-Man: No Way Home continued to dominate and it looks like it's on its way to be the third-highest domestic grosser of all time. Not sure if it has the legs to reach #1 The Force Awakens or #2 Avengers Endgame, but I do think it'll pass #3 Avatar.
Of everything else, Sing 2 has to be happy. It'll outgross Encanto this week and be the first and only animated movie of 2021 to pass the $100 million mark. Only 14 movies at all passed or will pass $100 million. (Compare that to 2019 when 31 movies did that.) The only non-sequel or non-Marvel movies to pass $100 million were Free Guy, Jungle Cruise and Dune.
Nothing else was able to catch fire. The Matrix Resurrections had mixed reviews and was also available on HBOMax, so its 68% drop-off is steep for a New Years Day weekend. The Colin Firth-less King's Man will disappear quickly. Some of these titles at least have the benefit of not too many new movies opening in January.
Opens This Week
THE 355 with Jessica Chastain, Penelope Cruz, Lupita Nyong'o and Diane Kruger.
Opens January 14
SCREAM 5 with Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arquette and Jack Quaid.
