Variety predicts the next 12 months of box office hits and misses, including "The Odyssey," "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Spider-Man: Brand New Day."

The final episode of the hit Netflix series debuted simultaneously Dec. 31 on the streamer and in 600 theaters before holding encore showings throughout New Year's Day.

Sivakarthikeyan-starrer Parasakthi opened in theatres to a mixed response, earning ₹11.5 crore in India and over ₹27 crore worldwide on its first day. The film’s release was impacted by last-minute certification clearance and strong competition from Prabhas’ The Raja Saab.
