The Christmas box office saw a total of $27.6 million, marking a 5% increase from 2024, with 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' leading at over $10 million and nearing a $600 million global gross. Other notable releases include 'Marty Supreme' and 'Anaconda,' which earned $2 million each in previews. Despite rainy weather, cinemas remained active, with 'Zootopia 2' maintaining strong performance at $3.2 million and a total of $296.1 million domestically. The four-day holiday forecast suggests 'Avatar 3' could hit around $75 million, while 'Anaconda' aims for over $20 million. Meanwhile, Mel Gibson's controversial WWII film 'Hacksaw Ridge,' which has been streaming on Netflix, is set to leave the platform by December 31. The film, acclaimed with an 84% critic score and 92% audience score, tells the story of medic Desmond Doss and grossed over $180 million against a $40 million budget. Gibson’s increasing political views have led to boycotts, despite the film's success. Gibson is currently working on 'The Resurrection of the Christ,' scheduled for release in 2027, with some casting changes causing fan disappointment. The streaming landscape continues to shift, with several movies and series preparing for new platforms or removal from current ones, including 'Heat,' Tom Hanks' biographical thriller, and other war movies. The industry remains dynamic with high-grossing films and streaming content updates shaping the holiday viewing experience.
