Shazam box office tracking2/18/2024 ![]() That’s a powerhouse performance for the weekend after Thanksgiving. Weekend projections: Beyoncé powers to $21-million openingĪlthough it has arguably lost some strength over the course of the weekend, there’s no question RENAISSANCE: A FILM BY BEYONCÉ is enjoying an excellent debut weekend, with AMC Theatres Distribution predicting it will earn $21 million over three days. This week in wide arrivals, two new arrivals make their way into theaters a two classics come back to the big screen. The film logged in over $14 million in its latest weekend, good enough for second place, in between the two newcomers, RENAISSANCE: A FILM BY BEYONCÉ, and Godzilla Minus One, which earned $21.8 million and $11.42 million respectively. Even as the film loses 26 locations this week, it is still available in 3,665 cinemas, which tops our list this week. It’s a rare scenario that a film becomes the widest release in its fourth week in theaters but that is just the case for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. Theater counts: Songbirds & Snakes climbs to the top entering its fourth week Where they land exactly is a little harder to predict. After the success of the rather different Godzilla Minus One last weekend, Japanese films are having a bit of a moment, and those two will likely both be in the top four by the end of the weekend. The movie gods have put together another mix of interesting, but hard to predict, new releases this weekend, led by Miyazaki’s The Boy and the Heron. Weekend predictions: The Boy and the Heron, and Songbirds and Snakes and Beyoncé, and Godzilla The $12.8-million debut for the animated adventure also marks the first time the distributor has topped the box office chart-its previous best was a seventh-place finish for Belle when it opened in January last year. ![]() The Boy and the Heron will have the best North American opening ever for a film by Hayao Miyazaki, according to GKIDS Sunday-morning projection. Weekend projections: The Boy and the Heron headed to record-breaking opening This week a beloved literary and movie character comes back to the big screen to tell the story of his youth. Fighting for second spot was The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, and Godzilla Minus One, with the former outpacing the latter $9.3 million to $8.6 million. In terms of box office competition, last weekend brought about a plethora of films vying for that number one spot, with newcomer The Boy and the Heron leading the way with just over $13 million in its opening three days. Theater counts: Wonka makes a sweet entrance in 4,203 theaters We don’t have enough data yet to be sure that record won’t be broken, but it would require very good legs through the weekend. The best weekend for any live-action musical is $42.0 million, earned by High School Musical 3: Senior Year back in 2008. That will be easily the best weekend ever for a live action musical not based on an existing show, beating the $15.5 million earned by The Greatest Showman over its second weekend back in December, 2017. Wonka will land with a solid opening, likely somewhere between $30 million and $40 million, this weekend, based on our model’s forecast and a decent $3.5 million in preview earnings on Thursday. Weekend predictions: Wonka looking for something in the 30s While not quite the best weekend for a live-action musical (a record still held by High School Musical 3: Senior Year), it is easily the best for a musical not based on an existing show, bettering the $15.5 million earned by The Greatest Showman over its second weekend in December, 2017. Wonka is kicking the holiday season off with a bang as it heads to an opening weekend around $39 million, according to Warner Bros.’ Sunday-morning projection. ![]() Weekend projections: Wonka singing up impressive $39 million on debut
