Box Office Results: Wonka Sinks Night Swim

The first weekend of 2024 saw Wonka emerge victorious over his competition with $14.4 million, per Deadline. The chocolate maker has earned $164.6M domestically and $465.8M worldwide.

Universal, meanwhile, had to settle for second place with their new release Night Swim, which collected $12M from 3,250 theaters — less than half of M3GAN’s opening weekend total in the same frame last year. No matter, the latest thriller from Blumhouse cost just $15M to produce, so this marks a solid — though not eye-popping — start. Internationally, the pic hauled in $5.6M, bringing its worldwide sum to $17.6M.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom floated to No. 3 in its third week of release with $10.6M and a $100M domestic total. Worldwide, the Jason Momoa action sequel has totaled $334.8M and is expected to finish with over $400M, easily trumping The Flash’s putrid $270.6M WW total. On Imax, the James Wan-directed pic has earned $31M worldwide.

Holding well is Universal’s Migration, which earned $10.2M (-40%) in its third weekend and $77.8M total ($150M worldwide), and Sony’s Anyone But You, which increased 9% in Week 3 and brought in $9.5M. So far, the Sydney Sweeney/Glen Powell rom-com has earned $43.7M domestically and $58.4M worldwide.

A24’s Iron Claw also held well in its third frame, collecting $4.5M (-2%) to raise its cume to $24.3M.

Warner Bros.’ The Color Purple dipped 59% (the steepest decline of all holiday releases) in its sophomore frame and managed just $4.765M. The Steven Spielberg/Oprah Winfrey-produced musical has $54.6M in its pocket, but there are ways to go if it wants to reach the $98M total earned by Spielberg’s feature in 1985.
