NEW HIGH
*LAST JEDI* tops North American box office. ''Beauty and the Beast'' is a higher earner worldwide.
LOS ANGELES
SORRY, BATMAN, So close, yet so far away. Star-Lord. Better luck next time, Captain Jack Sparrow.
RATHER, the three most popular movies at theatres in the United States and Canada last year, Star Wars : The Last Jedi, Beauty and the Beast and Wonder Woman, were each driven by female characters-
Something that has not happened in at least 37 years, as afar back as full-box office data is available.
''WOMEN truly emerged as the giants of cinema this year,'' said Paul Dergarabedian a senior comScore analyst, adding Oscar contenders like The Shape of Water, the Post and I, Tonya to the list.
THE POST, starring Meryl Streep as a newspaper publisher coming into her own, has only been playing for 10 days in three cities, but had taken in about US$ 2 million, which bodes well for its Jan 1 wide release.
BETWEEN Friday and Sunday, The Last Jedi by Walt Disney Studios collected an estimated US$ 52.4 million to become the No.1 North American movie of 2017 [and No 3 in the world], with a three week total of US$517 million.
Overseas, it took an additional US$ 523 million.
Directed by Rian Johnson, it includes prominent male characters like Skywalker. But, the film belongs to a quartet of impressive female characters -Rey, General Leia, Rose Tico and Vice-Admiral Holdo -so much so that online trolls and some franchise purists have whined.
DISNEY also had the world No 1 and North American No.2 movie of the year. The live action remake of Beauty and the Beast, with Emma Watson as the warbling Belle, collected US$504 million at domestic theatres.
Directed by Bill Condon, Beauty and the Beast took in US$ 759.5 million overseas.
THIRD place in North America went to the breaker of comic-book movie glass ceilings, Wonder Woman, which lassoed US$412.6 million in domestic sales [US$ 409.3 million overseas] for Warner Bros, minting two new A-list stars in the process:
