‘Napoleon’ Conquers Tuesday Thanksgiving Previews With $3M, ‘Wish’ $2.3M; ‘Hunger Games’ Wins Day With $6.5M – Box Office

Refresh for updates Apple Original Productions Ridley Scott Napoleon won $3M in Tuesday night previews while Disney’s Wish took in $2.3M. Both fired off at 3PM yesterday.

That’s an impressive number for Napoleon given the war epic movie that it is: it’s right under what 1917 previews (7PM) did for its wide expansion back in January 2020 which was $3.25M, and it’s ahead of Apple/Paramount’s Killers of the Flower Moon which was $2.6M.

1917 did $13.9M on its expanded Friday at 3,434 locations before posting a 3-day of $37M. Clearly, Napoleon will have a different gross pattern. Killers of the Flower Moon‘s first Friday was $9.4M before posting a Friday through Sunday of $23.2M.

Napoleon is booked at 3,017 theatres including PLFs and 70MM. Rotten Tomatoes reviews are at 66% fresh.

Meanwhile, Lionsgate’s Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes led all movies with $6.5M at 3,776 theaters taking its five day running total to $56.4M. Hunger Games will share Imax screens with Napoleon over the five-day holiday stretch.
