Box Office: ‘Sonic 3’ Leads With $7.5 Million as Timothee Chalamet’s ‘A Complete Unknown’ Unwraps $1.4 Million on Christmas Eve
"Sonic the Hedgehog 3" dominated at the box office on Christmas Day while three new movies opened nationwide.
Over the Christmas stretch, three newcomers will join the box office race: Searchlight’s Bob Dylan biopic “ A Complete Unknown,” the Focus Features “ Nosferatu ” remake and A24’s erotic thriller “Babygirl.” Those movies officially open on Wednesday with only the first two playing on Tuesday in afternoon previews, limiting the daily showtimes. Since there’s no potential billion-dollar tentpole, in the vein of “Avatar,” “Star Wars” or “Spider-Man,” on the calendar around the holidays, exhibitors are banking on November leftovers like “Moana 2,” “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” to pad out revenues during one of the busiest times of year for moviegoing. Luckily, musical biopics have been quite popular in theaters (see: “Bob Marley: One Love,” “Elvis” and “Bohemian Rhapsody”) while Chalamet has cemented his status as a bankable star with the successes of “Wonka” and “Dune: Part Two.”
