TheWonkamusical also has the potential to keep its streak in the Top 3 go for additional hebdomad . While the Modern releasesMean GirlsandThe Beekeeperhave land above the 2023 movieon the chart , they are both less than $ 1 million ahead of the holdover hit . Should either experience a more significant drop thanWonka , they could fall away below its week 8 gross , set aside it to stay in the Top 3 , as there is only one major young wide release ( Matthew Vaughn’sArgylle ) premier during that weekend .
There is an overall dearth of major releases set to come in to theatre throughout February . This includesLisa Frankenstein(February 9),Madame Web(February 14 ) , andDrive - Away Dolls(February 23 ) . While these combined rubric could eventually knockWonkaout of the Top 3 before long , if their opening weekend are weak enough or their hebdomad 2 drop dangerous enough , that could potentially prolong its stripe through the get-go of March .
