Weekend predictions: Lion King likely to stay top as Den of Thieves opens

January 10th, 2025

Den of Thieves 2: Pantera

This should be the first “normal” weekend of the year in movie theaters, with the holidays behind us and some new releases arriving. The LA wildfires have had a minor impact on our business operations this week (and I’m happy to report that we’re all safe and unscathed so far), and it remains to be seen what impact they, along with wintery weather elsewhere in the country, will mean for theatrical business. Grosses were down quite steeply on Wednesday, but bounced back a little yesterday. Hopefully our underlying assumption that the effect will be fairly minor proves to be a good one.

There are a lot of contenders for the box office crown this weekend, but the model thinks Mufasa: The Lion King will stay top, just ahead of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Given the many uncertainties, that’s hardly a sure-thing, and Den of Thieves 2: Pantera can’t be entirely ruled out as a possible chart-topper. More...

Synopsis

The true story of the meteoric rise, dramatic fall, and remarkable resurgence of British pop superstar Robbie Williams, one of the greatest entertainers of all time. The film is uniquely told from Williams’ perspective, capturing his signature wit and indomitable spirit. It follows Robbie’s journey from childhood, to being the youngest member of chart-topping boyband Take That, through to his unparalleled achievements as a record-breaking solo artist – all the while confronting the challenges that stratospheric fame and success can bring.
