Where it turns up
Friday, December 8, 2023 Second weekend of December 2023
In the note
So the 2019 2nd weekend in December is probably closer to next weekend’s films (Jumanji: The Next Level showed what a Jumanji movie could open to without a Star Wars movie against it at $59.3 million, plus Richard Jewell and Black Christmas opened), and clearly we’ll be way behind that total.
Friday, December 15, 2023 Third weekend of December 2023
In the note
Last year, Avatar: The Way of Water opened to $132 million, and in 2019 Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (in addition to minor openings for Richard Jewell and Black Christmas) opened to $59 million.
