“We’re heading into the home stretch of the box office year at $3.7 billion,” Dergarabedian said. Things should pick up next week as Steven Spielberg’s take on “West Side Story” dances into theaters nationwide. The film is about a man who fled Afghanistan as a child in the 1980s. Neon’s animated documentary “Flee” also opened on four screens, earning $25,033. In specialty releases, Paul Verhoeven’s “Benedetta,” released by IFC Films, grossed $145,000 from 202 theaters and Focus Features’ “Wolf” opened on 308 screens to $80,000. The premium screens accounted for over half of its $1.8 million domestic earnings. In other notable showings, Warner Bros.’ brought “Dune” back to IMAX screens this weekend.

“It just shows how powerful event cinema is and how movie theaters can benefit from non-traditional releases,” said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore. Since Wednesday, it’s earned $9 million and has become the highest grossing event in Fathom history. Over the weekend, it grossed $4.1 million from 1,700 screens. The big surprise came from Fathom, which snagged the fourth place spot with “Christmas with The Chosen: The Messengers.” It isn’t exactly a movie but an episode of a faith-based streaming series, this focused on the birth of Jesus with several performances by Christian groups, that was shot specifically for a 10-day big screen run. And Ridley Scott’s ripped from the headlines “House of Gucci,” starring Lady Gaga and Adam Driver, came in third place in its second weekend with $6.8 million from 3,477 locations, bringing its domestic total to $33.6 million. “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” took second place in its third weekend with $10.4 million, pushing it just past the $100 million threshold. Globally, it’s earned $116.1 million to date. Disney’s “Encanto,” an animated tale with original music from Lin-Manuel Miranda, earned $12.7 million to take the top spot, down 53% from its opening last weekend. The weekend after Thanksgiving is usually pretty quiet at the box office and this year was no exception considering new offerings like “Flee” and “Benedetta” were playing only in limited release. All three films are playing exclusively in theaters. “Encanto,” “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” and “House of Gucci” repeated in the top three spots, according to studio estimates today. Leftovers were on the menu for moviegoers in North America this weekend.
