What US Box Office Happens Next

The Thanksgiving holiday disrupts the usual Friday-to-Sunday opening weekend, as several new films arrive in theaters on Wednesday, Nov. 24, including Disney’s animated feature “Encanto”; Ridley Scott’s glossy biopic “House of Gucci,” distributed by United Artists Releasing and starring Lady Gaga, Adam Driver and Al Pacino; $Netflix(NFLX.US)$ “The Unforgivable,” starring Sandra Bullock and Viola Davis in a drama about a released prisoner seeking to rebuild her life; and “Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City,” the latest installment in the long-running horror franchise, via Sony Pictures.

Thanksgiving Day on Nov. 25 will see the $Disney(DIS.US)$ + premiere of Peter Jackson’s “The Beatles: Get Back,” a three-part production that culled previously unseen footage from the 1970 documentary “Let It Be” for a different perspective on the tumultuous 1969 recording session that helped to speed the Beatles’ break-up.

Nov. 26 will see United Artists Releasing’s theatrical distribution of “Licorice Pizza,” Paul Thomas Anderson’s coming-of-age comedy starring Bradley Cooper, Sean Penn and Tom Waits, while $Apple(AAPL.US)$ Apple TV+ will premiere Becky Read’s offbeat holiday documentary “‘Twas the Fight Before Christmas.”
