**Host:** Welcome back to archyde, everyone. We’re taking a look at the thrilling twists and turns of this holiday’s box office, and we have a very special guest with us today, Film Critic extraordinaire, Alex Reed.
**Alex Reed:** Pleasure to be here, thanks for having me.
**Host:** So, we saw a real Christmas clash at the box-office this year! Family-friendly blockbusters facing off against some surprising independent darlings, and a vampire film taking a big bite out of the competition. What stood out to you the most about this holiday weekend?
**guest:** Absolutely! It was a fascinating race. Disney’s “Mufasa” certainly proved its roaring power with a strong $37.1 million opening [1]. But the real surprise was “Nosferatu”, which defied expectations and sunk its teeth into the top spot! It’s projected to earn $33 million domestically after onyl five days, underscoring the enduring appeal of vampire stories and skillful filmmaking [1].

the giants.
