A big holiday musical based on a character by Roald Dahl is proving almost irresistable for filmgoers, as a decent Thursday and big Friday point to “Wonka,” the prequel to “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” raking in $39 million+ on its opening weekend.

Friday’s take was around $13, per Deadline.com. No doubt chocolate sales spiked afterwards as well, as this confection does a grand job of selling that sweet, much better than the earlier Willys, which treated it as a poison pill. Sure, we see Keegan-Michael Key balloon up from eating too many sweets (Diabetes to follow?), but it’s all as sweet as can be, and that goes for star Timothee’ Chalamet, who is at his most charming here.

“The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” is picking up the crumbs, to the tune of $5.8 million.

“Napoleon”($2.2 ) “Beyonce Renaissance” ($1.9)and “Wish” $3.2) are among the titles fading out of the top five. “Wish” has faded to sixth. “Beyonce’s” officially the director and star of a concert film that has hit the $30 million mark, and won’t go much further. It’s only a bomb if you compare it to “Taylor Swift Eras,” which earned six times as much.

Those damned “Trolls” are still around ($4 million), trailing the fading “Godzilla Minus One” ($4.8) and another Japanese offering, Miyazaki’s “The Boy and the Heron” ($5.1).

Fathom Events is showing a holiday special film spun off the faith-based “Chosen” TV series, and “Christmas with the Chosen” is doing $3 million after limited [review screenings gave it a $1.7 million start.

“Poor Things,” earning $1.1 million in limited but pretty wide release, sneaks into the top ten. It’ll drop out next week, so don’t get your hopes up.
