WakandaForever continues to dominate the Thanksgiving weekend box office. Meanwhile, netflix’s unprecedented GlassOnion release turns heads.
Disney is having a bittersweet Thanksgiving weekend at the box office. While Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is performing as well as expected, the studio's latest animated release, Strange World, is bombing with a fraction of what similar movies released during this time of the year would historically make. With $18.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The film still has a way to go before it overtakes the two other Marvel Cinematic Universe releases of 2022; Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness made $955 million worldwide, while Thor: Love and Thunder grossed $760 million globally. But it will pass Love and Thunder’s $343 million domestic haul today, to become the year’s sixth-biggest film.
Things weren’t as bright for Disney Strange World, the new $180 million animated film featuring the voices of Jake Gyllenhaal and Dennis Quaid, among others. The film was projected to make around $40 million in its extended opening, which would have put it at par with last year’s Encanto, but those numbers have now been revised to $19 million after its disappointing first few days in release. Strange World made $5.2 million on Friday, pushing its running domestic total to over $11 million.
Elsewhere, Netflix’s unprecedented nationwide release of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is raising eyebrows as it plays in over 600 theaters for one week and one week only. The streamer is keeping with tradition and not reporting official figures, but rival studios are estimating a five-day finish of around $10 million. The first Knives Out movie was an unexpected box office smash, with over $40 million in its opening weekend.
Overall business was down 12% from the same frame last year when COVID-19 restrictions were more pronounced, and audience enthusiasm was overwhelmingly more reserved.
