I think many families are waiting for their Christmas holidays to begin before going to see a Christmas movie. There will be other movies in theatres by then, of course, but I think this will be a must-see. As it should be! Yes but after Christmas it will completely disappear! So hopefully it will still strong the next two weeks!

It looks like Box Office Mojo only tracks movies while they’re in theatres. So the totals for Jim Carrey’s Grinch are for 15 weeks. Our new Grinch has been out for almost 5 weeks.

I think the final numbers will be similar but the new version won’t reach $430M (the adjusted number). It’s just too much! The movie will begin to lost theatres soon so it is about to have weaker numbers. It still should do well until Christmas as you said.
That year The Grinch was the most popular film of the year! Those were other times when stars were relevant and Jim Carrey was huge. Also the market wasn’t dominated by superheroes movies.
I think this version would have better numbers internationally. It hasn’t been equally strong outside the USA and apparently it didn’t work at all in Latin America, with the big exception of Mexico, one of the two biggest markets in the region (the other one is Brazil) but Jim Carrey’s version was disastrous! It seems a very few countries enjoy Dr. Seuss adaptations in general! Anyway the new version already topped the old one! And they still have China and Japan which TBH are a mystery! I just read on the box office forums a tweet predicting it would bomb in a big way but at least two member of it are saying he is wrong based in pre-sales numbers. We will see!

So hopefully it will still strong the next two weeks! A lot of people in the US go to the movies between Christmas and New Years, since schools are usually closed and after Christmas the kids are looking for something to do - I’ll probably take the nieblings to a movie sometime in there, maybe the Grinch. So it’s probably got a few more strong weeks left. It’s a commercial success in any case already.

Ben really had a good year, didn’t he? Starting with Infinity War, then A Child in Time, Patrick Melrose and The Grinch. I hope he’s proud of his accomplishments! Tons of box office, critical acclaim, development of Sunny March, a bucket list role ticked, a new baby on the way, and bazillions of adoring fans. <sigh> 😍

And you are absolutely right - a banner year indeed! No wonder he got that South Bank Achievement Award! With all the things he has in his hopper it looks like 2019 will be just as exciting and fulfilling... Brexit: Uncivil War coming out, Ironbark, the arrival of the new Cumberbaby... and who knows what else he has in store ?!? It promises to be a very bright future for our "bae"! 🤩🤩🤩
