Beyonce Wins The Weekend Box Office With Renaissance Concert Film
Beyonce won the Weekend Box Office with her Renaissance Tour film, helping kick off December in a really big way.
Beyonce took over the winter box office, much like Taylor Swift did in the fall this weekend. Her Renaissance concert film scored $22 million to win the weekend. Usually, the first weekend of December is pretty anemic at theaters, but not this year. This also helps prove that event-based filmgoing is becoming a booming business, as many concert films and anime special events have now been proven since the end of the pandemic shutdowns. Get ready for 2024 to be the year of concert films; I don't know who other than Beyonce and Taylor Swift could carry the box office, but the studios sure will try now.
Beyonce Powers Early December Grosses
Beyonce took the crown from the previous champ, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. That film added another $14.5 million to its gross, which now stands at $121.2 million. Third place went to Godzilla Minus One, which might be the story of the weekend, even with Beyonce opening. The film roared to $11 million in its first frame after an already successful opening overseas. Toho pushed this one unlike any other Godzilla film they have released, and it paid off big time. Fourth place went to Trolls Band Together, which is weirdly running out of steam quicker than most thought, with $7.6 million. And rounding out the top five was Disney's Wish. That film lost -62% from its opening frame, adding $7.4 million. It continues the trend of 2023 Disney disappointments, though this film doesn't deserve it. Go see this one, people.
The weekend box office top five for December 1:
- Beyonce Renaissance Tour Film- $22 million
- Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes- $14.5 million
- Godzilla Minus One- $11 million
- Trolls Band Together- $7.6 million
- Wish- $7.4 million
Next weekend, Beyonce will be clear to rule again, as the only two wide releases will be awards hopefuls Poor Things with Emma Stone and Hayao Miyazaki's The Boy and the Heron.
