Box office: 'Little Women' starts strong; 'Rise of Skywalker' remains on top
“Star Wars” was still rising in the last weekend of the year, while “Little Women” broke big at the box office.
Helped by the Christmas holiday week, “Star Wars” had a relatively small 59% drop-off in its second weekend after earning $175 million in its first.“For a movie that opened that big, that is a modest drop,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Comscore. “Movies that open this time of year, they usually have legs.”
The film, also a Sony release, starring Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh and Laura Dern, scored big with audiences and critics and was gaining momentum as an awards-season favorite.“With Greta Gerwig’s reputation as a filmmaker, a great cast and a perfect holiday release date,” Dergarabedian said, “they’ve got quite a hit on the their hands.”
As 2019 ends, annual overall box office revenue is down by 4%, though it gained ground in the later months, narrowing a deficit that was 11% in April. But 2018 was always going to be tough to beat — it was “an outlier,“ Dergarabedian said. “It was just a massive year.“ In its sixth weekend, “Frozen 2” earned $16.5 million for the three days through Sunday, good for fourth place. The animated hit now stands at a North American cumulative total of $421.3 million, and $1.2 billion globally.
In ninth place was Lionsgate’s “Bombshell,” earning $4.7 million and a cumulative total through Sunday of $15.6 million in its third weekend.
