Weekend Box Office Report (December 29th - December 31st)
Disclaimer: Every Monday, I will post the top five movies that grossed the most money DOMESTICALLY (in the United States), with some brief thoughts about each film. Today it is out slightly later due to the New Year.
1. Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($52.66 Million): In a heated battle for the top spot, Star Wars: The Last Jedi maintains its streak and remains atop the rankings at number one. While it may not be performing quite to the expectations that many had, it is making huge amounts of money for Disney, having just recently crossed the billion dollar mark worldwide. Whether or not this remains at number one this weekend remains to be seen, but it will continue to make money for at least another month.
2. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle ($50.36 Million): In direct opposition to The Last Jedi was Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. The film that nobody saw coming to be a success has now been making money at the box office amidst the critical praise and popularity. It remains to be seen whether or not it will remain in the top 3 for next week, but as the drops aren't that large, it will continue to be in the top five for at least another week.
3. Pitch Perfect 3 ($16.85 Million): This movie has its fans, and regardless of the critical bashing its getting worldwide, this film continues to make money. The fanbase will continue to come out and support this film for awhile, but eventually, it will drop from the top five and fade into obscurity.
4. The Greatest Showman ($15.55 Million): A film that has a soundtrack worth the price of admission, it's nice to see that at least the film has broken even worldwide and continues to remain in the top five for now. A film divisive among audiences, it remains to be seen how long this can maintain its streak.
5. Ferdinand ($14.40 Million): An animated film in its third week running, Ferdinand has quietly brought in some money behind juggernauts such as The Last Jedi. This film will probably slip and fade out soon however, but given the recent success that it has had, it would be safe to calll this film a success.
