Box Office Update: “Flower Moon” Over $50 Mil, Taylor Swift Still Booming, “Priscilla” So-So, “Holdovers” Begins

Share

Here’s the wrap up from a slow weekend:

“Killers of the Flower Moon” hits $52 million today. Doing great, waiting for the strike to end so the acts can do some publicity

Taylor Swift is nearing $166 million with the Eras Tour. Fans are still going, probably on their second or third helpings.

“Priscilla” — without Elvis Presley songs — scored $5 million in its first wide weekend. Every day starting with Friday showed a fall off however. Maybe not a good sign for word of mouth.

Two terrific Oscar films blasted off this weekend — “The Holdovers” with Paul Giamatti and the foreign film, “Anatomy of a Fall.” They are each worth going to the theaters for, “Holdovers” especially. Giamatti is the most underrated actor of all. Nomination please! Dominic Sessa is the find of the year. A 20 year old who should be a Best Supporting Actor without a doubt.
