-"Mufasa" took the crown this weekend by outgrossing the newly released movies. It only dropped by 15% from last weekend, which is the 2nd fewest drop among the movies that are currently playing in theaters. It also made an additional $52 million worldwide from last week; $49 million if you don't count MLK Jr. Day. The movie's box office performance is quite impressive.
-Keke Palmer and SZA led their way to the #2 spot this weekend with "One of Them Days." Against a budget of $15 million, it should make a decent amount of money and would turn into a decent profit for Sony.
-All howl and no bite. "Wolf Man" came into 3rd place by making a disappointing $12.3 million domestic and $17.1 million worldwide on its opening weekend. Against a budget of $25 million, I think this film has a candidate of being the first flop of the year due to bad reception and weak opening weekend numbers. The film was originally projected to make around $17-20 million domestic on its opening 4-day weekend before the reviews came out.
-"Sonic 3" continues to impress during weekends by making $8.6 million domestic on its 5th weekend, which was a 24% drop from the previous weekend. It has made more than "Sonic 2"'s worldwide gross of $405 million. Its next goal is to surpass "Warcraft (2016)"'s worldwide gross of $439 million this weekend.
-"Den of Thieves 2" took a hit this weekend thanks to "Mufasa," "Sonic 3," and the two newly released films. Its predecessor only dropped 43% from the opening weekend, though that film dropped from the #3 to the #7 spot, losing to "The Post" and "The Greatest Showman." I think it should still do fine against a budget of $40 million.
-"Moana 2" had the fewest drop among the movies that are currently playing in theaters. It also reached the $1 billion worldwide overall mark and is the 56th film to do so.
-"Nosferatu" took a hit this weekend thanks to "Wolf Man," but I think it should bounce back next weekend thanks to the film getting a much stronger reception than "Wolf Man."
-"A Complete Unknown" is still doing pretty good.
Reason: Forget "Moana 2"'s worldwide gross
