In a huge leap from its limited release back on Christmas Day, and following the film's big win at the Golden Globes, Sam Mendes' critically-acclaimed 1917 shot to to the top of the box office charts this weekend with an estimated $36.5 million. A tally large enough to knock Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker out of the number one spot.
Per Deadline, 1917 has now earned $39.2 million so far. Rise of Skywalker still pulled in enough to land in second place, with $15.1 million, inching closer to earning a billion globally. It now stands at $990 million globally. Originally projected to make about $20 million, 1917 blew past expectations.

Fleischer is no stranger to Sony, as Venom and Zombieland are both its properties. So, it doesn't come as a huge surprise that executives would like him to head up this major project — however, negotiations have not yet begun. ollowing last year's hostless broadcast, the Academy Awards will forego having a host for next month's Oscars ceremony telecast.
"Let me confirm it now, together with the Academy, that there will be no traditional host this year," ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke said Wednesday at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour in Pasadena. ABC reportedly hopes to talk with Marvel about bringing a superhero show to the network. Deadline reports that ABC Entertainment President Karey Burke wants to discuss the project further with Marvel's Kevin Feige.
