Box Office Collapses By 23% over Last Year
Nearly two months into 2019 and the domestic box office is already in a startling freefall when compared to the previous five years.
According to Box Office Mojo, box office receipts are down –23 percent when compared to last year. Some are chalking this up to the lack of an early hits like Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and The Greatest Showman, which were released in late December of 2017 but made most of their money in early 2018.
There was also no Black Panther over this President’s Day weekend, a movie that opened with $202 million during this same weekend last year. As a result, this President’s Day weekend box office ranks as the worst in 15 years.
