Friday had it in 6th place.
Anyone But You continues to do unfathomably well, apparently largely because TikTokkers want to get up and dance to the song that plays during the closing credits?
On a personal note, we are probably finally seeing All of Us Strangers today, unless a conflict rears its head this afternoon. ETA: We did not. It's been a bumpy weekend.

Box Office first-pass estimates are out for this last weekend in January. Soul has been removed from all theaters as of Friday and is no longer playing. Poor Things is in 7th, All Of Us Strangers is in 22nd, and Wish hangs on for some unknown reason in 29th place.

I believe the reason Wish is still on the charts is because some people are still paying money to view the filmBox Office first-pass estimates are out for this last weekend in January.

Looking at that weekend box office data above, I was struck by a few things. In no particular order;
Aquaman just went over $400 Million globally, while The Marvels never quite got to $200 Million globally. I get the sense that Aquaman isn't a huge hit pop-culturally and, and it will still lose some money at the box office, but still.... The Marvels was truly disappointing and lost hundreds of Millions of dollars. The overseas box office in particular is most stark between these two:
Aquaman: $205 Production, $100 Marketing, $71 Domestic Take, $119 Overseas Take = $115 Million Loss
The Marvels: $220 Production, $100 Marketing, $51 Domestic Take, $46 Overseas Take = $223 Million Loss
And Migration and Wonka are still doing solid box office over a month after Christmas? Wow. I take it that's because they are really the only family films in theaters right now? Still, a rather stark comparison between Wish bombing globally and the other three animated/family musicals from the holidays legging out to the end of January. Migration might break even by next weekend.
Wish: $200 Production, $100 Marketing, $38 Domestic Take, $68 Overseas Take = $194 Million Loss
Trolls 3: $95 Production, $50 Marketing, $61 Domestic Take, $42 Overseas Take = $42 Million Loss
Migration: $72 Production, $35 Marketing, $61 Domestic Take, $42 Overseas Take = $4 Million Loss
Wonka: $125 Production, $65 Marketing, $117 Domestic Take, $143 Overseas Take = $70 Million Profit

Still in 155 theaters making $284, per day, per theater. Disney gets about half of that.

On Saturday, January 27th Wish brought in a domestic box office take of approximately $26,400 for Disney.

We can agree the numbers are awful, but I always thought Disney got about half what we see in the chart?

It's a bit murky, but the numbers I've been using have been based on the accepted assumption that a studio gets 60% of domestic box office receipts and 40% of foreign box office receipts.
That often averages out closer to 50% for big global releases like Wish, but when discussing purely domestic numbers I used 60% to determine that Wish earned $26,400 yesterday in American theaters.

It a good thing Disney has the gross numbers to talk about. It makes for good story telling.

While that might be true, Migration is still trending up and it has been out for a month less than Wish.

That chart seems to be domestic box office. How is that relevant to a discussion of worldwide box office?
Domestic sure… but I believe Wish could still Be trending upwards worldwide… I read an article yesterday( which is why I looked up what the box office worldwide was) that was discussing how well Wish was doing when compared to here…especially in Europe… the article also specifically called out the UK saying it dropped something like only 12% this weekend

Wish has made $240,000,000 worldwide
It sucks…it’s over…move on.
Can we pivot to making bold statements about frozen 5 or Toy Story 8?
Too much negative energy spawning from the truth around here these days

I'm your huckleberry. This is real quick and dirty, sourced from weekly snapshots of Wikipedia edits. Y-axis is millions USD.
Migration would need at least 4 more weeks of solid returns to overtake Wish given the current trends. Given the lack of releases until Kung Fu Panda 4 arrives in 6 weeks, I guess anything's possible, but extrapolating out I'd guess that Wish will end up on top by about $10M-$15M overall. The Trolls line is weird looking because it released everywhere overseas first (reflected in the week 1 total), so virtually all of the growth shown in the chart is from the US release.
