USA box office on the fourth weekend of January 2024 is down 22% compared to last year when "Avatar: The Way of Water" was the top-grossing movie. "The Beekeeper" was the top-grossing movie this weekend.
And it's down 61% compared to the 2018 peak when "Maze Runner: The Death Cure" was the top draw.
Post-Covid box office continues to lag

Headline: Variety, 1/28/2023
Amazon MGM is reporting that “The Beekeeper” claimed the top spot with $7.4 million from 3,337 theaters in its third weekend of release. Meanwhile, Paramount is reporting that the “Mean Girls” musical has earned $7.3 million from 3,544 venues and could win the weekend for the third time… once final numbers are tabulated on Monday. (Sunday’s football schedule could keep the male-dominated audience for “The Beekeeper” at home and in front of the TV.)
Either way, it’s a dreary time at the box office. It’s the second weekend in a row sans a new major studio release, which means that January is concluding with a whimper.
Variety, 1/27/2024
With no new wide releases this weekend, theater traffic is reaching a near halt to mark the end of January. “Mean Girls” looks to lead domestic charts once again, while the crop of freshly Oscar-nominated features look to extend their big screen runs armed with renewed new awards buzz. Universal’s release of Apple’s star-studded action-comedy “Argylle” will hope to make a splash and kickstart business next weekend.
Until then, Paramount’s “Mean Girls” is staying on top, projecting about $6.7 million over the three-day frame. That would mark the lowest-grossing No. 1 release since “Top Gun: Maverick” returned to the top slot with $6 million in its 15th weekend of release back in September 2022.
