USA box office on the 12th weekend of 2017-2025

 
USA box office on the 12th weekend of 2025 is down 27% compared to last year when "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" was the top-grossing movie.  "Disney's Snow White" is the top-grossing film this weekend. 

And it's down a whopping 63% compared to the peak year of 2017, when "Beauty and the Beast" ruled the box office.

“Snow White” arrived in theaters dogged with controversies, including criticism about the film’s depiction of the seven dwarves, complaints about changes to the nearly 100-year-old story and calls for boycotts because of co-stars Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot’s public stances on the Israel-Hamas war. There were also expensive reshoots, which added many millions to the film’s budget. Disney as a result scaled back the movie’s Los Angeles premiere, doing without traditional red carpet interviews. However, analysts don’t believe the deluge of bad publicity actually factored into ticket sales.
Putting a happy face on a gloomy year so far for Hollywood.
Though “Snow White” provided a bit of necessary momentum to the marketplace, overall box office grosses are grim. Revenues are trailing nearly 7% behind 2024 and 39% behind 2019, according to Comscore. On deck, “A Minecraft Movie (April 4) and Marvel’s “Thunderbolts” (May 2) hope to inject life into theaters.\ 
“We will be singing a much more positive tune in just a few short weeks,” predicts Comscore’s Dergarabedian.
