‘Mufasa’ & ‘Nosferatu’ Bite Back At ‘Sonic’ On Christmas; Lion King Prequel Poised To Win Holiday Stretch – Box Office Update
The sleepy Christmas Eve frame was led by 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3' with Timothee Chalamet Bob Dylan movie 'A Complete Unknown' grossing $1.4M in previews.
While Christmas Eve box office at $25M off -19% from Monday’s $30.9M gross, the good news is that the off-moviegoing day was ahead of last year’s (which fell on a Sunday — the worst scenario possible for the industry) $18.6M by +34%. Tuesday Christmas Eve previews are apples to oranges to previous music biopics which played on Thursdays during the summer, but for reference, Paramount’s Elton John Rocketman did $2.3M ($25.7M opening) in May 2019 while Warner Bros’ Elvis posted $3.5M ($31.2M) during June 2022. Focus Features’ Nosferatu only held a limited number of Imax and 35MM previews last night; that Robert Eggers’ directed horror film eyeing a$25M 5-day debut.
