In today’s jam-packed Boxing Day box office update…

  • Mufasa: The Lion King holds firm and makes a case for being the next Mary Poppin Returns and not the next Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

  • Sonic the Hedgehog 3 regains some post-debut mojo and likewise makes a case for playing like a tentpole released in December as opposed to one released in April.

  • Wicked Part One passes $400 million in North America and may become the top-grossing domestic earner ever to not gross over $1 billion worldwide.

  • Nosferatu continues to suck hard and bite the big one… but in a good way.

  • As audiences flock to “sexy Dracula,” maybe the “today’s kids are such prudes” narrative isn’t entirely accurate, which Sony should remember if it goes through with a Robert Eggers-helmed Labyrinth follow-up.

  • And more…!

Sorry, this one is paywalled. My oldest just passed her driver’s test, and adding a teen to your auto insurance is *expensive*!
