For the weekend of December 28-30, 2018, Aquaman was the clear winner and it's on pace to outgross Justice League. It's already at $750 million worldwide.
Mary Poppins Returns didn't have the big upfront it would have liked, but it appears it should be able to have similar longevity to The Greatest Showman.
Bumblebee is doing about what it was designed to do. If it hits $100 million domestic, great, but its real business will be overseas.
The new releases from Christmas Day haven't been able to make a splash. Vice boasts a great cast, but how many film-goers really want to watch a two-hour rage screed about how what an evil mastermind Dick Cheney is? Doesn't quite have the bipartisan appeal of Adam McKay's previous political comedy-drama The Big Short. (I still want to see it.)
Holmes & Watson is one of the worst-reviewed films of Will Ferrell's career, and it will die an ignominious death.
In limited release, the three new ones all made between $15k-$21k per screen. They are On the Basis of Sex, starring Felicity Jones as young RBG; Destroyer, a gritty undercover drama starring Nicole Kidman; and Stan & Ollie, starring Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly as Laurel & Hardy during the final years of their career.
Opens January 4
ESCAPE ROOM with Deborah Ann Woll, Taylor Russell and Tyler Labine.
