| Disney's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker grossed $2.403 million on Wednesday to lead the daily box office for a 20th consecutive day. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was down 39.6 percent from
Tuesday and down a very sharp 85.9 percent from last Wednesday's inflated New Year's Day performance. The 20-day take for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker stands at $460.945 million. That is 15.4 percent behind the
$544.614 million 20-day haul of 2017's Star Wars: The Last Jedi. With Universal's 1917 widely expected to take first place this weekend, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will fall out of first place on Friday.
BoxOfficeReport is predicting a fourth weekend take of $17.0 million for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Internationally, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker took in an estimated $5.4 million on Wednesday. That brings the
film's international total to $485.0 million and current global haul to $945.9 million. |
| Sony's Little Women was up one spot from Tuesday to move into second place on Wednesday with $1.443 million. The critically acclaimed Little Women declined 31.6 percent from Tuesday and
72.5 percent from last Wednesday's New Year's Day take. Thanks in part to continued strong holding power; Little Women has grossed $65.002 million through 15 days of release. That already gives the film an excellent current
total gross to opening weekend ratio of 3.88 to 1. BoxOfficeReport expects Little Women to continue to hold up very well this weekend with a predicted third weekend take of $10.5 million. |
| Fellow Sony release Jumanji: The Next Level was down one spot from Tuesday to land in third on Wednesday with $1.386 million. Jumanji: The Next Level decreased 44.9 percent from Tuesday and
87.3 percent from last Wednesday, as films appealing to family audiences experienced especially sharp declines yesterday. In the bigger picture, Jumanji: The Next Level has grossed a healthy $241.891 million in 27 days, which is
17.0 percent behind the $291.313 million 27-day gross of 2017's Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. BoxOfficeReport is predicting that Jumanji: The Next Level will gross $16.2 million in its fifth weekend. |
| Awards season hopefuls Lionsgate's Knives Out and A24's Uncut Gems claimed fourth and fifth place with respective daily grosses of $875,239 and $789,951. Knives Out was down 29.6 percent from
Tuesday and down 74.9 percent from last Wednesday, while Uncut Gems declined 32.4 percent from Tuesday and 74.6 percent from last Wednesday. Respective total grosses stand at a significantly stronger than expected
$133.116 million for Knives Out through 43 days and at a very solid $39.302 million for Uncut Gems through 15 days of wide release and an additional 12 days of platform release. BoxOfficeReport is predicting respective grosses of
$6.7 million and $5.0 million for Knives Out and Uncut Gems this weekend. |
