This should come as no surprise as nothing new is missing from the local cineplex, most of which are closed across the country. Wonder Woman 1984 wins the box office for the third year in a row after making $ 3 million. The long-awaited sequel opened in theaters and on HBO Max on Christmas Day and has grossed over $ 131 million worldwide. Only $ 32 million of that total has come from the box office as the public health crisis persists. As of this writing, less than 40% of North American theaters are open.
Asia is currently dominating the global box office thanks to dealing with the pandemic. The cinemas are opening and people are returning to the theaters to see the 2020 and 2021 films. However, Japan has seen a surge lately and is in another lockdown period. In 2020, Asia Pacific accounted for 51% of that global checkout number. Hopefully North American theaters will flourish again in 2021.
