Box Office Comparison 2023 vs. 2024 vs. 2025 vs 2026 – Week 14:

Notes:

• I added in 2023. The weeks do not line up as well because New Year's was on a Sunday and splits the weekend up at the start. I am told 2023 is the year to beat Box Office wise so it makes a good comparison. It has the 1st Mario coming in the next week.
• 2025 technically beat 2026 this weekend because Minecraft was just a 3-day launch, Mario contributed a lot to the previous week with high Wednesday and Thursday totals. We are still up over 20% from last year.
• I would guess that we will be down yoy next week as well. There were numerous wide releases last year that did pretty well with The King of Kings, The Amateur, Warfare, and Drop to go with Minecraft legs and nothing much this year.
