Unlike the past two years, the 2023 holiday box office will not have a massive hit like “Spider-Man: No Way Home” or “Avatar: The Way of Water” to turbocharge ticket sales. In its place are a medley of films looking for longterm success after modest starts this Christmas weekend — and not all of them are expected to succeed.
The No. 1 film this weekend is expected to be Warner Bros./DC’s “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” a sequel to James Wan’s $1.15 billion superhero hit released back in 2018. “Aquaman” earned an opening weekend of $67 million five years ago and reached $100 million in domestic grosses after Christmas Day two days later.
