But even though these increases from yesterday are better than normal, we'll need a similar jump tomorrow for the movies that opened Friday in order to get back to 'normal'. Rogue One Was up 48%. Sing 2 was up 45%. Passengers was up 134% And here’s what today looks like. Avatar: The Way of Water - Up 81% Puss in Boots The Last Wish - Up 79% Babylon - Up 150% I Wanna Dance with Somebody - Up 123% The Whale - Up 128%

Films like Greatest Showman or Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle (or even Passengers) said ‘I’m here!’ on Christmas Day after openings that were below expectations. Anyway, based on something I heard during a discussion about which terrible idea is going to go away faster, the Tesla Pickup Truck or shooting a movie in a 1:33 to 1 aspect ratio and thinking it....looks good?, here are some thoughts about the weekend box-office. RENAISSANCE: A FILM BY BEYONCE - My goodness, why are all these musicians acting like your Grandpa on Facebook; please stop yelling.

Back in 2016, Passengers opened to $14.8 million the week before Christmas, but once Christmas Day hit, it exploded and finished with a 6.7 multiple and got to 100. For the next couple of weeks, let’s all relax every weekend, it’s a long game and it’s not over until we get to New Years, a lot can change.
