Happy new year, fellow cinephiles! Looking at the totality of the 2026 movie release calendar, one will note that there are a whole lot of terrifically exciting features on the way in the next 12 months, from Phil Lord and Chris Miller's Project Hail Mary to Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part 3... but some patience will have to be exhibited for them. As we sit at the end of the first weekend of this fresh year, no new films have yet arrived in wide release – which means that the big headlines at the box office today are all about some 2025 films hitting major milestones.
While 2025 may be over, big releases are still adding to their legacy in theaters around the globe, and this weekend, both James Cameron's Avatar: Fire And Ash and Paul Feig's The Housemaid added an extra figure to their worldwide box office totals. Check out the full Top 10 below and join me after for analysis.
