take ($50.7 million) came in just under its predecessor's ($64.9 million). Paddington 2 has already opened in the U.K., where it debuted to $10.8 million, an improvement over the $8 million debut of Paddington back in November 2014, although the sequel's overall U.K. If it manages to post another impressive decrease, it could very well end up taking the top spot from Paddington 2. Last weekend it only dropped 25.6% to take the top spot, and our prediction of $20.6 represents a 44% decrease from last weekend. In its second frame, over the New Year's Eve weekend, it actually posted a 38.4% increase over its first weekend with $50 million, and $66.2 million for the four-day total including New Year's Day. It opened in theaters on Wednesday, December 20, just five days after Star Wars: The Last Jedi, debuting with a solid $36.1 million over the three-day weekend and $52.7 million over the five day weekend, while also going against The Greatest Showman, Pitch Perfect 3, Downsizing and Father Figures.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, which features an all-star cast including Dwayne " The Rock" Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan, has had quite the interesting run thus far. We're predicting that, while it may very well be a close race, Paddington 2 will come out on top with a projected box office win of $21.7 million, beating out Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle's fourth weekend tally of $20.6 million. 20th Century Fox's awards season candidate The Post also expands nationwide after opening in limited release last month.
Its reign may very well be short-lived though, with three high-profile new releases hitting theaters this week, Warner Bros.' family sequel Paddington 2, Sony's action-thriller Proud Mary and Lionsgate's action-thriller The Commuter. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle finally put an end to The Last Jedi's streak of three straight box office wins in a row, taking in an impressive $37.2 million in its third frame.
