No changes in the top 10. Re-releases seldom do well unless it was of a big blockbuster film. The Favourite continues to do big business in limited, though I'm not sure how much it expands this week. I assume it will be in a hundred theaters or so. Mary Queen of Scots, Vox Lux and Ben Is Back all open in limited this weekend. The first will probably fare the best. A Star Is Born is getting an IMAX push this weekend, which will coincide with it likely leading the Globe noms. It's currently at $194.2m. As for Green Book, I'm not sure why Universal isn't expanding it. I guess they are waiting for Oscar noms? Who knows how much that'll end up doing!
