According to film industry analysts, November’s domestic box office numbers experienced a steep decline from the year prior – a phenomenon the experts have coined as “slump-vember.”
U.S. theaters reportedly only pulled in $553.6 million in November, 12% less than the same month last year.
Likewise, November 2023’s figures are still $400 million shy of pre-pandemic levels.
“‘The Marvels’ and ‘Wish’ are two films that, based on the impressive historical track record of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Disney animated films during the Thanksgiving period, were expected to generate much bigger box office than was realized by both films,” said Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
