Weekend Box Office 11/26 - Thanksgiving Blues
Posted: Sun Nov 26, 2023 9:25 am
Pretty weak openings across the board. HUNGER GAMES is one that's done pretty well here, using a star-free cast to keep savings down and that's the one that's held up over a couple of weekends.
Everything else? Not so much. WISH and NAPOLEON are the kinds of limp post-pandemic openings that might've looked good in 2013, but in today's market, neither are impressive, especially the Disney opener. Consider they're "fighting it out" for a $30 million gross over a 5 day holiday -- that's a sign of where things are at.
