Led by a near-tie between two second weekend animated franchise films, then bolstered by two unusual wide Christmas day specialized-distributor releases, U.S./Canada theaters saw their best post-holiday grosses since 2019.

Elsewhere, Timothée Chalamet's Bob Dylan biopic 'A Complete Unknown' breaks records for Searchlight as vampire pic 'Nosferatu' bites off big business for Focus Features.

Two family films dominated the holiday box office this week, with “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” winning the three-day weekend over “Mufasa” by a blue hair.
