USA box office on 1st weekend of January (2017-2024)Januyary

 
USA box office on the first weekend of January 2024 is down 20% compared to last year when "Avatar: The Way of Water" was the top-grossing movie.  

And it's down 48% compared to the 2018 peak when "Jumanji:  Welcome to the Jungle" was the top draw.

Headline:  Variety, 1/7/2023
“Night Swim,” a supernatural thriller produced by horror mavens Jason Blum and James Wan, waded to second place in its debut. The film, marking the first nationwide release of the year, collected a moderate $12 million from 3,200 North American theaters. 
Those ticket sales weren’t enough to topple “Wonka,” which claimed first place again with $14.4 million in its fourth weekend of release. “Night Swim” didn’t make a splash at the international box office with just $5.7 million from 36 markets, bringing its global tally to $17.7 million. The film cost $15 million, so it doesn’t have a high bar for profitability. 
That’s probably a relief to Universal because neither audiences nor critics were fond of “Night Swim,” which holds a dismal 27% on Rotten Tomatoes and landed a “C” CinemaScore
