In today’s holdover weekend box office report…

  • Moana 2 dropped big for a Disney toon while still earning a massive (and record-sized) post-Thanksgiving Fri-Sun cume while gaining some overseas muscle.

  • Universal’s Wicked Part One took a third-weekend drop on par with Frozen II, and it continued to play worldwide like the opposite of a Fast & Furious movie.

  • Gladiator II is still playing like a November-released James Bond movie. It is now Denzel Washington’s biggest domestic and global grosser (sans inflation). 

  • Best Christmas Pageant will soon become Lionsgate’s biggest 2024 domestic earner.

  • And more…!
