To date, Wayana 2 has grossed $300 million on American soil (and as much in the rest of the world, which is riding the same tidal wave), making it the fifth-biggest hit of the year in the United States. Although it has already done better than the first opus (Rs 248.8 million in 2016), Christmas Disney should not stop there. Until Deadpool & Wolverine (636.7 million) and Vice Versa 2 (653 million) join and surpass it?

For the third time in the past week, Gladiator II remains on the same step of the podium despite a nearly 60% drop in revenue from the previous weekend. But Ridley Scott and Paul Mescall are hanging on and slowly approaching the first installment’s score ($187.7 million in the US and $465.5 worldwide, compared to $132.7 and $368.4 currently on its sequel), unadjusted for inflation.
