Box Office
Box Office Retrospective
No other director has held a more consistent presence among top subtitled releases over the past 40 years.
Going Long
The 15-minute intermission acknowledges contemporary reality as much as bathroom needs.
VOD REPORT
"Venom: The Last Dance" takes over VOD, while acclaimed "Carry-On" is the top Netflix movie, edging "It Ends with Us."
The acclaimed "Nickel Boys" outperforms "September 5" in platform debut and "The Last Showgirl" wows in single-theater one-week qualifying run.
Warner Bros. blocked grosses for "Juror #2"; so did Searchlight with "Nightbitch." As of January 1, Comscore won't play along.
Quarterly program "@ The Movies" replaces National Cinema Day, which offered one-day reduced prices for all seats.
VOD report
Amazon Prime and Peacock get unusually quick showings of two hit movies.
On an exceptionally busy early December weekend, "Moana 2" and "Wicked" are both already at $300 million.
Box Office
Christmas has an odd release schedule, including four wide specialized-world films.
VOD report
Warner Bros. Discovery has a hit despite themselves.
iTunes and Fandango VOD's top 10s yield wildly different first week results, when they're usually quite aligned. Plus, Lindsay Lohan leads Netflix.
Weekend Box Office
"Gladiator II" added to the $420 million haul, with close to record attendance for Thanksgiving. "Queer" is tops among new platform openers.
