3 openers should add some life after 2 weeks of barely any movement. Spider-Man has great reviews and could be leggy if there weren't three movies opening next week after some of the same market. The Mule is one of the few movies, along with Vice, opening in the next two weeks aimed squarely at older audiences. (Plus, the films expanding!) Mortal Engines should have opened last weekend, even though it's looking to be a big non-event anyway. As for Once Upon a Deadpool, it apparently is only a 12-day run. I still can't believe Fox is wasting prime box-office real estate on a recut movie that opened 7 months ago. Just as amazing is that they are getting 1,500+ theaters to play it. The Favourite expands to 500+ locations after a great run in limited. It should hold well over the coming weeks before its Oscar bump kicks in. I guess Green Book won't be adding a substantial amount of theaters until Oscar nominations. It's holding on very well. Vox Lux is going into 300+ locations. Neon really should have held it for next year. It's an award season non-starter, so there was no point in pushing it in an already incredibly crowded December. No idea how many theaters Mary Queen of Scots expands to, but it did very well last weekend in a handful of theaters. If Beale Street Could Talk opens this weekend, though I'm not sure what its expansion plans are. Probably won't go fully wide until mid or late January. Lots of excitement at the box-office!
