Disney’s “Encanto” netted $1.5 million in Tuesday evening previews and MGM’s star-studded crime drama “House of Gucci” brought in $1.3 million ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.
“Encanto” is expected to top the box office and generate $40 million over the five-day period, a more muted launch for a Disney holiday offering than previous Thanksgiving debuts from the Mouse House, such as “Frozen II” in 2019 ($123.7 million), “Ralph Breaks the Internet” in 2018 ($84.6 million), and “Coco” in 2017 ($71 million). But those movies bowed in pre-pandemic times, so if “Encanto” can deliver on those estimates it will rank as a relative victory at a moment when ticket sales are depressed industry-wide.
The Disney flick will have some competition at the multiplexes. In addition to MGM’s “House of Gucci,” a meme-able crime drama that stars Lady Gaga, Adam Driver and Jared Leto, Sony is launching a new entry in its horror movie franchise with “Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City.
