USA box office on the 3rd weekend of December 2017-2024

 
USA box office on the 3rd weekend of December 2024 is up 50% compared to last year when "Wonka" was the top-grossing movie.   "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" is the top-grossing for the third weekend in a row.

But it's down 50% compared to the peak year of 2021, when "Spiderman: No Way Home" ruled the box office.

Variety:  12/22/2024
Disney’s “The Lion King” prequel “Mufasa” trotted behind in second place with $35 million from 4,100 cinemas, falling way behind pre-release expectations of $50 million. It’s a terrible start for a tentpole that cost above $200 million to produce and roughly $100 million to promote across the globe. Despite mixed reviews, the film has several potential saving graces, including a solid “A-” grade on CinemaScore from audiences and the reality that December releases aren’t known to deliver robust debuts. But, if word-of-mouth is favorable, the film can enjoy staying power into January and beyond. (That was true of last year’s Timothee Chalamet-led prequel “Wonka,” for example, which notched $39 million to start and tapped out with $218 million in North America and $634 million worldwide.) “Mufasa” has a better chance of breaking out overseas, although the family friendly film also missed projections at the international box office, earning $87.2 million for a global start of $122.2 million.
