Friday box office:
“The Color Purple” is full of surprises.
After a huge opening on Monday, the terrific, emotional musical had a big drop mid week.
But last night, “The Color Purple” was up 25% from Thursday, taking the biggest leap of any film in the top 10.
“Aquaman 2” is finding a holiday audience. It will be up near $80 million by the end of New Year’s Day. So maybe $100 million isn’t out of the question. But much beyond that? Hmmm…
“Wonka” rounds out Warner Bros’ big trio. Just keeps finding more candy along the way, heading to $140 million by the end of the four day week.
Lots of small movies all jockeying for place including “Poor Things,” “Iron Claw,” “All of Us Strangers,” “Zone of Interest.” “Memory” from the nearly existent Ketchup Entertainment is proving to be a bit stuck in the bottle.
