Have seen 9, How to Train Your Dragon. Also saw Hamnet and A Complete Unknown.

Hamnet probably wasn't a top-earner, and A Complete Unknown was from last year.
I loved A Complete Unknown but the Springsteen one this year wasn't as good. Although Jeremy Allen White did a great job of portraying Springsteen -- had the same moves, postures, etc.
I've started One Battle After Another, which everybody who's seen it loves but it wasn't huge at the box office. It's really complicated -- I had to give in and read the Wikipedia description of the plot in order to figure out what was going on.
Front-Ranger:
OBAA apparently won best picture at the Critics Choice Awards last night. Best actors were TC for Marty Supreme and Jessie Buckley as Anne Hathaway Shakespeare in Hamnet.

I had to do that when I saw The Witch. It appeared when I read the article that Robert Eggers had filmed a lot more and then didn't use the footage. In my opinion that footage would have made some, or a lot of, things clearer, but my guess is that he thought it would be creepier if he didn't show what was going on. It left you wondering.
