The year is ending as firecrackers light up the sky, and the world celebrates a new year. In 2024, promises abound in the world, and the freshness in entertainment remains undeniable. As humans, remembrance emerges as a crucial craft. For the last time this year, let’s discuss the happenings at the Box Office in 2023.
“Wonka” ends the year in style, concluding the weekend with $23.9M and potentially reaching $31M by Monday. Timothée Chalamet is indeed rising as the next big star, as “Wonka” manages to gross $386.9M globally.
“Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” also loses touch with the DC audience, barely swimming to the second place with $19.5M on the weekends and an estimated $26M by January 1, 2024. However, these DC stats are increasingly fruitless as Warner Bros. had already fueled the reboot jet some time ago.
Universal and Illumination’s “Migration” secures the third place with $17.2M during the weekend, with a potential reach of $22.3M by January 1. The film, on a global stage, also crosses the $100M mark with a $70M budget.
“The Color Purple” takes the fourth spot, adding $13M during the weekends and potentially collecting $17M by Monday. The stats suggest that, despite a high-flying start, the film faced some setbacks.
“Anyone but You” breaks the stigma of R-rated comedies, occupying the fifth place. With $9M during the weekends and an expected $11.2M by January 1, it appears to be a good performance for a film with a $25M budget.
This is followed by two sports dramas. “The Boys in the Boat,” focusing on the University of Washington rowing team, grossed $8.3M by the weekend and could row up to $11M today.
In the seventh place, A24’s “The Iron Claw” managed to secure $5M and has been appreciated massively by fans. Additionally, “Hunger Games” continues its journey at the box office along with Miyazaki’s sensation, “The Boy And The Heron.”
And with these bunch of numbers, Team Binged wishes you a happy new year.
