Reilly’s comedy Holmes & Watson with $6 million. Rounding out the top five is Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse earning $5.5 million on Tuesday, bringing its domestic total to $73.5 million.
According to Variety, the days between Christmas Day and New Year’s are the busiest furring the year for moviegoing. Last weekend, the North American ticket sales hit $11.383 billion, surpassing the 2016 record of $11.382 billion.
