Well, here’s a weird statistic.
Last night, New Year’s Eve, every single movie in the top 10 was down from the previous night except one: “The Fabelmans.”
The Steven Spielberg dramedy was UP 25% from Friday night. More smart people on New Year’s Eve decided they wanted to see this wonderful film.
Everything else including “Avatar 2,” “Black Panther 2,” and “Puss in Boots” was down around the same average amount: 25 percent.
“The Fabelmans” is available on VOD Amazon Prime, etc for $19.99. But it’s also still hanging in there at theaters, waiting for awards — Critics Choice Jan 15 Golden Globes Jan 10, and then Oscar nominations January 24th. It’s my favorite movie of the year.
The biggest drop last night from Friday was “Violent Night” — 31%. I guess New Year’s revelers didn’t want to be scared!
