The box office in 2020 started off where last year left off: with “Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker' still on top.

After a historic year, the Walt Disney Co. opened the new year approaching one milestone and surpassing another. With $33.7 million over its third weekend in U.S. and Canada theaters according to studio estimates Sunday, “Rise of Skywalker” is closing in on $1 billion worldwide. While it appears unlikely to match the hauls of the trilogy's previous entries, “Rise of Skywalker” will mark a record seventh $1 billion 2019 release for Disney.
Greta Gerwig's “Little Women,” meanwhile, is becoming an outright hit. The Louisa May Alcott adaptation has been the top adult-oriented choice through the busy holiday season. With $13.6 million in its second weekend and strong business overseas, “Little Women" has grossed $80 million worldwide in two weeks. It was made for a modest $40 million.
Sam Mendes' war film “1917” is poised for its national expansion next week after a second weekend of packed theaters in limited release. It took in $590,000 at 11 theaters, good for an impressive per-theater average of $53,100.
