In other releases, Wicked: For Good, now in its third weekend, is looking at a total of about $288.1 million. It’s trailing behind its predecessor, which made $36.4 million during its third weekend.
Anime fans are in for a treat with Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution, which is set to pull in about $4.5 million today. This is an adaptation of the popular manga and is generating buzz among viewers.
Lastly, Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill: The Whole Blood Affair, despite limited screenings, is expected to earn around $4 million. Tarantino’s following remains strong, even with a condensed release.
Overall, this weekend shows a lively box office, driven largely by Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. It’s fascinating to see how these films are carving out their place in an increasingly competitive landscape, especially during the festive season.
