Last weekend saw a variety of new films open at the box office: Bollywood gangster drama 'Animal', 'Trolls Band Together', two concerts in 'Andre Rieu's White Christmas' and 'Renaissance: A Film By Beyonce', and Japan's Godzilla Minus One. Yet it was 'The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes', in its third frame, that drew the largest audience, surpassing last weekend's no. 1, 'Napoleon'.
'The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' may not have opened at the heights seen for the rest of the franchise, but it still gave exhibitors a needed boost last weekend.
Exhibitors are optimistic about the summer prospects for 'Wonka' after Timothée Chalamet's take on Roald Dahl's chocolatier got off to a strong start at the box office last weekend.
Ridley Scott's historical epic 'Napoleon' emerged the victor at the box office last weekend, outpacing 'Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes'.
