Xmas and New Year occuring in both 2 weekends (2 Eve on both Friday, combining with the factor people want to spend time for family and friends more than go outside for cinema after 2 years of Covid) is nothing different from disaster, even weaker than normal weekends without holiday boost. And the result is that the total gross of 2 holiday weeks may not much different from 2 normal weeks.
and people keep saying covid has no impact on the potential gross of movie
almost all movie have dissapointing weekend (even Sing 2 with A+ cinemascore and being a family friendly movie) and they acted like only NWH bad
Edit: and Matrix, omg, it has mixed audience reception but it dropped even 20%
