Anthony D'Alessandro Editorial Director/Box Office EditorSUNDAY AM UPDATE, refresh for chart and more analysis: The weekend before Thanksgiving is one of the most lucrative ones on the calendar, last year bringing in $204.9M off the opening of Disney’s Frozen II which posted November’s fifth best domestic opening of all-time at $130.3M.Who would ever think that the domestic box office would sink to such an atrocious level as this weekend. If last weekend brought in $10M for all titles with California theaters, and other markets like Illinois open, this weekend is surely the lowest weekend for exhibition since theaters reopened back in September for Tenet with an estimated $6M, a 40% drop.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticFew stars have worked harder to give audiences pleasure over a long haul than Jackie Chan. But lately, his screen appearances have been those of the elder statesman still trotted out to nominally preside over expensive but flavorless official diplomatic functions you doubt even he relishes.

Anthony D'Alessandro Editorial Director/Box Office EditorEXCLUSIVE: A year ago at this time, a stink was raised by the studios and NATO over Netflix and its audacity to actually crunch the theatrical window with The Irishman. And a deal was on the table with AMC, but in the end the streamer wanted a more limited time in theaters ( far less than 45 days).Fast forward to now, and many wonder, well, what happens to Amazon and Netflix now with the WarnerMedia HBO Max theatrical day and date release of Wonder Woman 1984? Certainly they’ll push for their due in having the big circuits like AMC and Cinemark play their fare on a crunched or zero window. Why should Warner Bros.

The laziness of Jackie Chan’s latest fighting flick becomes obvious right away — when a secret security force called Vanguard heads to Africa to rescue an accountant’s daughter.We cut away from London to a sun-drenched landscape, and the screen reads: “Africa.” Africa is the second-largest continent in the world and contains 54 culturally and geographically distinct countries, from Egypt to Sierra Leone. And that’s the best they could do? “Africa”?The whole movie, called “Vanguard,” is hobbled by such scant detail.

Anthony D'Alessandro Editorial Director/Box Office EditorAMC’s Adam Aron isn’t the only one who is happy about WarnerMedia’s decision’s to take Wonder Woman 1984  theatrical day and date on HBO Max.

Ellise Shafer editorFollowing Warner Bros.’ announcement that “Wonder Woman 1984” will release both on HBO Max and in theaters Christmas Day, AMC Entertainment CEO and President Adam Aron has stated that the chain is “fully onboard” with the release plan.“For many months, AMC has been in active and deep dialogue with Warner Brothers to figure out how best this cinematic blockbuster could be seen at AMC Theatres in these unprecedented times,” Aron wrote in a statement obtained by Variety.

What’s going to happen to “Wonder Woman 1984?” That was the million, err, billion-dollar question. The plan, up until recently, was two options: 1) a summer 2021 theatrical release or 2) stick with December 25, 2020, theatrical release — minimal, of course, given the way COVID-19 is spiking across the U.S.

If nothing else, director Stanley Tong and martial arts superstar Jackie Chan’s latest effort, Vanguard, proves the law of diminishing returns. Not too long ago a Chan film guaranteed an entertaining time at the movies and heaps of awe at what the human body could endure.
