After a quiet start last week, Decembers big movies kicked off this weekend with SonysKraven the Hunterand WBs anime film Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim. Despite being fresh new features, neither movie were able to stand against the might of Disney and the Wizard of Oz. Per the Hollywood Reporter,Kravencame in third behind both Moana 2andWicked: Part One,which have been out since late November. At time of writing, the R-rated antihero flick has made $26 million globally, $11 million of which came from domestic audiences. Sonys gamble of making movies about Spider-Man baddies without the webhead himself has had diminishing returns this year, and not even Aaron Taylor-Johnson brutally killing people could change that, it seems. Reviews have been mainly negative, so Sonys probably going to be more selective about who gets a movie going forward, assuming Sonys Spider-Man Universe still has a future. Meanwhile,Rohirrimmade $5 million domestic, and $10.3 million globally. Set about 200 years before the Peter Jackson movies, it boasts some creative talent from those earlier filmsnamely co-writer Philippa Boyens, and Jackson and Fran Walsh as EPsand garnered a mixed reception thus far. Its a weird time forLord of the Ringsright now: along with the ongoing Prime Video show, WBs trying to kick off at least one new movie centered on Gollum, who also headlined last years pretty disastrous video game. Add on the Jackson films getting re-released into theaters over the summer, and people may have been Ringsdout, assuming they had any interest or knew ofRohirrimin the first place.As forMoanaandWicked? They kept on making money; the former swam to $717 million globally and maintained a first-place lead at $26.6 million domestic as it heads for $1 billion.Wickedsnow made $500 million, but its got an ace up its sleeve with the sing-along version hitting theaters on Christmas Day. Speaking of, next week sees the release ofSonic 3andMufasa on December 20, thenNosferatuon Christmas Daymeaning KravenandRohirrim may end up get pushed out of theaters soon.
