"Without any new blockbusters debuting ( Ella McCay is a lot of things, but it's no blockbuster), the box office had a down week overall. But no film was down more than Five Nights at Freddy's 2, which dropped almost 70 percent from last weekend's No. 1 finish. The Josh Hutcherson-starring "What if Chuck E. Cheese was scary?" sequel still managed to climb to $95 million and will surely cross the $100 million bonus threshold in the coming week."
"But retaking the top spot in its third week of release was Disney's Zootopia 2. The will-they-or-won't-they buddy-cop story is proving to be pretty resilient, box-office-wise, having picked up $26 million over the weekend for a total of $258 million. Including bonus points, Zootopia 2 stands only 34 points behind Wicked: For Good as the best box-office performer of the season so far - and costing $20 less than Wicked to draft in the first place."
"James L. Brooks' gas-leak-flavored Ella McCay cleared only $2 million in its debut weekend, which was twice as good as the holiday-horror remake Silent Night, Deadly Night. Other box-office earners of note (numbers are cumulative box office to date): The full points roundup: Wicked: For Good: $312 millionNow You See Me: Now You Don't: $59 millionEternity: $12 millionHamnet: $7 millionPredator: Badlands: $90 millionOne Battle After Another: $71 millionThe Running Man: $37 millionRental Family: $9 millionSentimental Value: $3 million"
Movie studios released no major blockbusters, producing a down week at the box office. Five Nights at Freddy's 2 dropped nearly 70% from the prior weekend yet climbed to $95 million and is likely to surpass $100 million. Disney's Zootopia 2 retook the top spot in its third week with $26 million over the weekend, bringing its total to $258 million. Including bonus points, Zootopia 2 trails Wicked: For Good by 34 points while costing $20 less to draft. Smaller releases underperformed: Ella McCay opened to $2 million and performed twice as well as the holiday-horror remake Silent Night, Deadly Night.
