The holiday season is a time for strong holds at the box office, and several of the Christmas season’s releases are showing staying power with moviegoers this New Year’s weekend with Warner Bros. “Wonka” taking No. 1 for a third straight weekend.
The Timothee Chalamet film added $8.6 million on Friday, and industry estimates have it earning a spectacular $33 million over four days. A lot can change over the weekend, particularly if New Year’s Eve turnout on Sunday is lower than expected, but if that result holds it would represent a 16% increase for “Wonka” over the $28.3 million it earned over the 4-day Christmas weekend.
