I didn't update over the holidays because I was busy-busy-busy. (Yes, three!) Rogue One will surpass Finding Dory as the 2016 domestic champ sometime mid-next week. Sing did huge business, putting a slight dent in Moana's total. La La Land is looking to emulate Silver Linings Playbook's numbers, though it could go higher given the bigger Oscar haul. Passengers probably did the best it could given the terrible reviews. It won't hurt JLaw and Pratt in the long run at all. Fences is doing very well given it's basically a filmed play, but Hidden Figures might steal some of its thunder this weekend. That film did phenomenally in limited and is tracking very well. It's a crowdpleaser that should play well in the coming weeks. $100m isn't out of the question. Underworld: Blood War is the first 2017 opener, and like the Resident Evil franchise, this one is a consistent performer. This should be the least grossing installment, though. A Monster Calls also expands wide, but it has been doing terrible business in limited and I doubt there's much interest from the multiplex crowd. Collateral Beauty and Assassin's Creed were probably the big bombs of the December season. The former was a critical disaster while the latter's performance was expected. Lion and Jackie are doing okay, but Oscar boosts will help in the coming weeks. Manchester by the Sea has done great, and could go $60m+ with the rest award performance.
