As the 2024 box office kicks off with what is expected to be a slow start, Warner Bros.’ “Wonka” is topping Universal/Blumhouse’s new release “Night Swim” for its fourth No. 1 weekend.

The Timothée Chalamet musical earned $4.3 million on Friday and is estimated to earn $15 million this weekend to bring its domestic total to $165 million, more than quadruple its $39 million opening weekend. In a sign of how rough it has been for movie theaters since the end of last summer, “Wonka” is now the first movie to pass $400 million in global grosses since “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” did so back in early August.
