Weekend predictions: Avatar fires up theaters with weekend headed to the 90s or 100s

December 19, 2025

Avatar: Fire and Ash storms into theaters this weekend, and is a lock on top spot at the box office through the Holidays. With an emphasis on spectacle, we’re seeing huge sales of premium tickets for the movie, and the seasonal timing and lack of FOMO around potential spoilers or dramatic surprises means many people aren’t in a huge hurry to see the movie on opening weekend. What we’re seeing so far points towards a weekend between $90 million and $110 million, with our model landing on $95 million as of this morning. That will suit Fox/Disney just fine. With three other major releases—David, The Housemaid, and The SpongeBob Movie: Search for Squarepants—all likely to produce good opening numbers, it’ll be a busy weekend in movie theaters. More...

Theater counts: Avatar: Fire and Ash ignites the big screen, launching in 3,800 theaters

December 18, 2025

Zootopia 2 reclaimed the top spot at the weekend box office after yielding it to Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 the previous weekend, outpacing the horror sequel by $6 million and surpassing $250 million domestically. Both films are expected to exit first-place contention this weekend, however, as a trio of new releases enters theaters—including the long-awaited Avatar: Fire and Ash. More...

Weekend projections: Zootopia returns to the top of the chart as Ella McCay disappoints

December 14, 2025

With Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 taking a predictably steep drop from its opening weekend, Zootopia 2 returns to top billing this weekend, in spite of a 39% drop of its own on its third weekend in theaters. Zootopia now stands at $259 million domestically, and a mighty $877.7 million internationally, for a global total of $1.136 billiion. That makes it the top global performer of the year for a US studio movie. More...

Weekend predictions: Zootopia likely winner in last weekend before the Holiday rush

December 12, 2025

Zootopia 2 is the clear favorite to come top at the box office this weekend, with Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 likely to take a steep fall from its $64-million opening last weekend. Wicked: For Good should land third, with Ella McCay (the only new release playing in over 2,000 theaters) and the re-released How the Grinch Stole Christmas looking likely to battle for fourth and fifth places.

Theater counts: Zootopia 2 barrels into its third weekend, holding strong as the widest release

December 11, 2025

While Zootopia 2 held the theatrical edge in theater count, it was newcomer Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 that stole the spotlight, debuting with a fierce $64 million. As Zootopia inches closer to the $1 billion global milestone, the question now is, can it claw its way back to the top, or will Freddy’s reign continue? Either way, the two must push past a surge of rivals to return to the winner’s circle. More...

Weekend projections: Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 holds strong through weekend with $63-million chart-topping debut

December 7, 2025

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is enjoying a relatively strong hold through the weekend, and will top the box office chart with about $63 million, according to Universal’s Sunday-morning projection. While its Thursday-to-weekend multiple is on the low side, at 8.75, that figure is notably better than the 7.77 multiple for the original Five Nights at Freddy’s, which converted $10.3 million in previews into an $80-million weekend. More...

Weekend predictions: Five Nights aiming for mid-50s

December 5, 2025

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 should come top at the box office this weekend, with Zootopia 2 and Wicked: For Good both looking likely to fall sharply from their Thanksgiving weekends. With seven movies opening or expanding wide, there’s a lot to choose from, although the weekend after Thanksgiving tends to be one of the weakest of the year, and theaters aren’t likely to be packed this weekend. More...
