While nothing at the box office is performing as strong as last year’s “Avatar: The Way of Water,” the current pack of films in theaters, led by Warner Bros.’ “Wonka,” has pushed 2023’s domestic annual total past $9 billion on the final weekend of the year.

Industry estimates have overall grosses for the weekend reaching $118 million — enough to push annual totals past the $9 billion mark on Saturday. While final annual totals won’t be reported by Comscore until Tuesday, 2023’s domestic haul will be around 22% ahead of the $7.36 billion grossed in 2022. But that’s still 20% behind the $11.3
