Not even Lisa Simpson doing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vulture.com\/article\/ella-mccay-meme-explainer.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#EllaMcCayChallenge<\/a> could save the film at the box office. The film also has a 22% on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/ella_mccay\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, with critics calling it \u201cAn odd, messy, misjudged shambles\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.empireonline.com\/movies\/reviews\/ella-mccay\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Empire<\/a>) but also \u201cdelightfully weird\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/culture\/2025\/12\/ella-mccay-review\/685228\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Atlantic<\/a>). <\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.vulture.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmj6fgg3v001d3b7a3snk7eht@published\" data-word-count=\"112\">Ella McCay couldn\u2019t break the glass ceiling and enter the top 5 of the Box Office. So what did? At number 1 was Zootopia 2, adding to its already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vulture.com\/article\/zootopia-2-billion-box-office.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$1 billion+ global box office<\/a>. Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s 2 came in at number 2, with its domestic total at almost $100 million. At number 3 was Wicked: For Good with an additional $8.55 mil for its box office. Indian spy thriller Dhurandhar brought in $7.9 million at number 4. And Now You See Me: Now You Don\u2019t is hanging on at number 5, with $2.31 million in its fifth week of release.
