USA box office for the 2nd weekend 2017-2026

 
USA box office on the 2nd weekend of 2026 is up 17% compared to last year when "Den of Thieves: Pantera" was the top-grossing movie.  This year "Avatar: Fire and Ash" is the #1 movie for the 4th weekend in a row. 

But it's down 41% from a 2018 peak when  "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" ruled the box office.  


Variety, 1/4/2026

Rebecca Rubin provides an early-year preview:
So far, the box office is pacing slightly ahead of 2025. Although January is known to be slower for theaters, this month could be busier than expected with blockbuster hopefuls including Sony’s apocalyptic thriller “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,” the anime “All You Need Is Kill,” Amazon MGM’s sci-fi adventure “Mercy” with Chris Pratt, Sam Raimi’s survival horror film “Send Help” and the Jason Statham-led “Shelter.” 
“We’re hoping for a stronger start to the year than in 2025 and 2024,” says Gross. “For the [January] box office to approach pre-pandemic levels, ‘All You Need Is Kill, ‘Mercy,’ ‘Send Help’ and ‘Shelter’ are going to have to perform big.”
