Brent Lang Executive Editor Timothée Chalamet retained his holiday season crown as “Wonka” topped the box office on Thursday.
The family film, which looks at chocolatier Willy Wonka and his quest to open the world’s most fantastical candy company, earned $8 million, pushing its domestic gross to $110.6 million. “Wonka” carries an $125 million budget and has been a success overseas, where it has earned more than $180 million.
In second place, Universal and Illumination’s “Migration” earned $6.5 million to bring its domestic total to $37.1 million. The film follows a family of mallards whose trip south for the winter takes some unexpected detours. “Migration” has been a slow starter at the box office, but it has picked up some momentum this week with kids out of school and parents looking for diversions.
