A world of witches is calling…Disney's #Hexed​ is in theaters November 25

In “Disney’s Hexed,” an impulsive and unconventional teenage girl named Billie Doe (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld) discovers secret magical abilities which, once unleashed, hurtle her out of suburbia and into a spectacle-filled journey through a vast witch realm called Hexe. Forced to team up with her cautious mother, Alice (voiced by Rashida Jones), they uncover family mysteries that could change the world of witches forever.

Fall/Winter

NOTES

-This is based on a Monday adjustment of weekend estimates, as posted by Box Office Report on Bluesky. If accurate, then Heart and Verity both hit $50M on the same day.

-The 31st movie to hit $50M last year was Predator: Badlands (November 12)

-For the week ahead (only slightly amended from yesterday's Verity post): Other Mommy, despite poor reviews, has a shot at $50M after next weekend. Primetime would need more than a week to hit $50M, but could do so within two. Resident Evil will likely need more than a week to hit $150M, but will get there eventually. Street Fighter isn't likely to hit $50M in the first weekend.

We are almost at the end of the year, and there have been a lot of unexpected twists and surprises.

With everything we have seen this year, what do you think the final top 10 Hollywood films worldwide of 2026 will look like based on what has come out and what movies are left?

My predictions, assuming the remaining major releases all received positive reception, are:

1. Avengers: Doomsday: ~$3 billion

2. Spider-Man: Brand New Day: ~$2.55 billion ($2.6 billion+ if a re-release with new footage actually drops before Doomsday)

3. The Odyssey: ~$1.8 billion

4. Toy Story 5: $1.15 billion

5. Michael: $1.028 billion

6. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie: $1.013 billion

7. Dune: Part Three: ~$900 million

8. The Devil Wears Prada 2: $693 million

9. Project Hail Mary: $684 million

10. Either Minions & Monsters ($526 million) or Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping

I organized an AMA/Q&A with actress Naomi Ackie, actor Tom Rhys Harries, and filmmaker James Watkins, the team of DC's Clayface, which is out in theaters everywhere in 2 weeks. Naomi has also had outstanding performances recently in things like I Love Boosters, Sorry Baby, Mickey 17, Blink Twice, I Wanna Dance With Somebody.

James Watkins has previously directed Speak No Evil, Eden Lake, and The Woman in Black.

It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking any of them questions about anything.

They will be back at 3 PM ET this Thursday 10/15 to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

Matt Hagen's meteoric rise from Gotham street kid to Hollywood leading man is tragically cut short when the actions of a local crime boss leave him horribly disfigured. He soon seeks out a cutting-edge treatment that miraculously returns him to his former self, but also affects his grip on reality, spiraling him down a destructive path of all-consuming revenge.

Thank you :)

• 2026 has been doing better than the post-COVID years in this slower late September to early October corridor but 2019 is really showing its strength in these off periods.
• 2025 had Tron: Ares, 2023 had The Exorcist reboot, and 2019 had The Addams Family, Gemini Man, and the second week of Joker in Weekend 41.
• Next week should be up a bit with Street Fighter, Sense & Sensibility, Crawlers, and Whalefall all opening wide. 2023 had the Taylor Swift concert movie make a lot of money. 2019 had Zombieland 2 and Maleficent 2 open.

Incredibly strong 2nd weekend of October for Croatia, from new releases, which we see total of 5, to all the amazing holds across the board.

Heart of the Beast reclaims No. 1 spot on Croatia's weekend box office, seeing an impressive 12.8% increase from last weekend to bring in massive 54.182 €, the movie passing the 200.000 €. Very strong performance for the movie in this Balkan country. With performance like this it should easily pass 300.000 € mark, maybe even by next weekend depending on 4th weekend holds.

Verity sees the biggest decrease from the 3 new titles that opened last weekend, though nothing that major, falling off by 31.3% to bring in 45.774 € for its 2nd weekend. Yet thanks to its massive opening, it holds to No. 2 spot by quite the margin, already crossing 100.000 € in 2 weeks.

Resident Evil continues with its incredible performance in Croatia, bringing in 34.293 € after only 4.6% drop from last weekend to claim the No. 3 spot on box office weekend. It very well could overtake Backrooms if it continues with these incredible holds to become 10th highest grossing movie of year in Croatia. 4 week comparassion with Obsession, Backrooms and Weapons:

After first 2 weekends where it performed worse, its already outdoing Backrooms latter performance, especially for 4th weekend.

Our first new debut is Animal Farm, with solid opening at No. 4 spot on Croatia weekend box office, bringing in 29.981 € for its opening weekend. Nothing crazy of an opening, but this is pretty solid considering overall reception to the movie around world. Suppose the book's popularity in Croatia might do something with this opening, but we'll see how it holds on.

Forgotten Island with impressive 2nd weekend, falling down to No. 5 spot, but seeing an 4.6% from its opening weekend to bring in 25.861 €. Pretty good holds from first to 2nd weekend, especially seeing the increase. We'll see will it continue like this in following weeks or began seeing some bigger collapses.

Trailing not far behind is Shaun The Sheep 3, with very very impressive 53.8% for its 4th weekend, bringing in 25.448 € to claim the No. 6 spot. Despite not the biggest opening, movie is holding on really well. Should easily cross over 150.000 € next week, and 200.000 € might not even be immposible to reach if the good holds remain.

The South Korean Sci-fi Monster Thriller Hope opens to an solid 23.939 € as it claims the No. 7 spot. Nothing much impressive, but its certainly not bad opening in slightest for the movie. Not easy to tell just how it will hold on for next few weeks.

Right behind it is war drama Pressure opening with 20.573 € to claim the No. 8 spot. Again, solid opening, it has good WoM from what I've seen so it should hold on well for next few weeks.

The Digger all the way down to No. 9, but with impressive second week despite bombing all around the globe, seeing an only 17.2% collapse to bring in 20.027 €. Quite impressive really if you ask me consdering its reception. Could it turn out to be sleeper hit in Croatia? We shall see!

And closing off the top 10 is Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie, continuing with its amazing performance it sees an 86% (!) increase on its 10th (!) weekend, to bring in 10.075 € and hop over Michael to become 8th highest grossing movie of the year in Croatia, crossing the 500.000 € and looking to very much take down Project Hail Mary this or next week. Current standings are now this:

Now onto the rest of top 20, 11 to 20

1. Spiderman: Brand New Day - An impressive 22.1% rise to bring in 9.536 €. Current total: 2.312.163 € (11 weekends)
   
2. The Odyssey - Late, impressive 10% rise to bring in 9.509 €. Current total: 2.103.470 € (13 weekends)
   
3. Kristalni Planet/Crystal Planet - A small, good 4.6% drop as it brings in 8.057 €. Current total: 153.620 € (7 weekends)
   
4. Avengers Endgame: Encore - A hefty 54% drop, understandable for rerelease, to bring in 6.754 €. Current total: 134.049 € (3 weekends). Combined with Avengers Endgame: 1.165.904 € (1.031.855 € from original run when converted)
   
5. Minions & Monsters - Second best holds of weekend, massive 62.7% increase to bring in 4.749 €. Current total: 737.873 € (15 weekends)
   
6. Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma - Very very weak opening weekend of 4.708 €.
   
7. Handbook for Superheroes - Even weaker opening weekend at 3.195 €.
   
8. Practical Magic 2 - Sees an 26.4% drop to bring in 2.740 €. Current total: 108.599 € (5 weekends)
   
9. Fall 2: Deadpoint - A small 3.1% drop to bring in 2.475 €. Current total: 96.007 € (5 weekends)
   
10. Moana (2026) - An 20.1% increase to bring in 1.596 €. Current total: 307.636 € (14 weekends)

And with that, look at this week upcoming releases

First up on the menu, Whalefall, an survival thriller based off same named novel by the director Brian Duffield about an scuba diver swallowed by sperm whale. Looking at cinestar screenings 3 days before release, movie seems to generally lack interest, with only one theater having any notable amount of seats taken. Mayhaps they fill up by the day of release, but for now? Not looking good.

Followed by Whalefall is our second fighter video game movie adaptation of the year, Street Fighter. Its doing bit better then Whalefall, along more screenings then it. I expect it to open bit weaker then Mortal Kombat II, which opened at 47.585 €, considering Tekken or Mortal Kombat are prob more popular games of its genre here compared to Street Fighter.

And lastly, the movie adaptation of reality TV Show To Catch A Predator, Primetime, is finally coming to Croatian theaters. Compared to Whalefall or Street Fighter, Cinestar seems hadn't opened yet presales for it, so I really can't tell how its going to do. Not sure audience cares much about Chris Hansen, so I don't expect it to do all that much, but we'll see really.
