GET ME REWRITE: In its 29th day of release, "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" racks up a mediocre $33,400,000 at the box office

Hannah Gearan bends and stretches and reaches for the stars.
Per Box Office Mojo, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever has now made it past a new box office milestone. Upon bringing in an additional $4.85 million over Thanksgiving weekend [compared to $225,441,826 for "{Moana 2" and $118,270,155 for "Wicked"), the festive film has now been brought past the $30 million mark in terms of its domestic box office. At the time of writing, it now boasts a worldwide box office total of $32.1 million.  
Even four weekends into its release, this is a pretty notable milestone for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. While the film was made on a budget of $20 million, a fairly sizable total for its scale, its release could have easily been eclipsed by the likes of Moana 2, Wicked, Gladiator II, and Heretic. Films usually need around two-and-a-half times their budget to break even, so the movie still has a little ways to go, but its new milestone has given it a strong start.
