|Amid the goddamned pandemic, ''[[The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes]]'' revived ''[[The Hunger Games]]'' (last seen in [[The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2|2015]]) by telling the origins of Coriolanus Snow, who in [[Katniss Everdeen]]'s time is the evil president of Panem, but 64 years prior was just a starving student assigned to mentor one of the teenagers sent to kill each other in an arena, namely a girl with an affinity for both singing and snakes. If the book flew under many people's radar, more attention is brought to the film adaptation with [[Tom Blyth]] as Snow, [[Rachel Zegler]] as his Tribute, and [[Peter Dinklage]], [[Jason Schwartzman]], [[Hunter Schafer]] and [[Viola Davis]] in supporting roles. Reviews were mixed to positive and ''The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes'' took the top of the box office from #4. |

---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 2023 Cricket World Cup | 3,710,562 | After six weeks, the World Cup entered the knockout stage last week, with India and Australia beating New Zealand and South Africa in the semi-finals by comfortable margins. All eyes then turned to the final to be held at the world's largest cricket stadium. In the Sunday after the period covered by this Report, Australia has won their sixth World Cup (more on that in next week's edition). | ||

4 | The Marvels | 1,220,998 | The world's biggest film franchise had its 33rd film open to mixed reception from both the critics and audiences last week. It may have been a sequel to a billion dollar film, but it featured three other characters, two of whom were only introduced on Disney+ shows, one of which was one of Marvel's least watched show, and the third was the lead in one of its worst shows. This, combined with the declining quality (and public interest) of the MCU resulted in the franchise's lowest opening weekend at the domestic box office. Things don't seem to be improving, with the second weekend projected have the MCU's biggest drop. | ||
5 | Suella Braverman | 1,070,416 | The former British Home Secretary was dismissed from the government on November 13, the trigger for her sacking was some comments in a Times article she wrote saying, "police officers play favourites when it comes to protesters", and called pro-Palestinian protesters "mobs". | ||
6 | Deaths in 2023 | 913,191 | |||
7 | David Beckham | 892,350 | The famed footballer went to India as part of his humanitarian work for UNICEF, and while there Beckham watched the hosts win the semi-final of #1, and met with cricketers including #8, before attending a post-game party hosted by Shah Rukh Khan. | ||
8 | Virat Kohli | 884,049 | The Indian cricketer scored his 50th century in One Day Internationals in the semi-final against New Zealand in #1, breaking the record for most centuries in the format, which was previously held by his icon Sachin Tendulkar. | ||
9 | David Cameron | 863,413 | This week the former British Prime Minister made a surprise comeback to politics after he was appointed Foreign Secretary in the same cabinet reshuffle in which #5 got fired. Cameron hasn't been an MP since 2016, so current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak appointed him to the House of Lords instead. | ||
10 | The Killer (2023 film) | 860,359 | |||
11 | Madame Web | 800,724 | File:Madame Web (film) logo.png | If you thought Morbius wasn't enough of a deep cut for Sony's Spider-Man Universe, now the latest character that they exploit without Marvel Studios bothering in a movie (#15) is a supporting one rather than a villain, the clairvoyant and precognitive Cassandra Webb. | |
12 | Diwali | 737,573 | |||
13 | Mohammed Shami | 728,882 | This Indian cricketer steered his team to a comfortable victory in the first semi-final of #1 by taking 7 wickets during the match, and broke a number of records in the process. He got a well deserved player of the match award for his performance. | ||
14 | 2023 Israel–Hamas war | 722,004 | |||
15 | Leo (2023 Indian film) | 702,307 | |||
16 | Taylor Swift | 691,320 | The Eras Tour moved from Buenos Aires to a series of sold-out concerts in Rio de Janeiro. And it was sadly marred by a terrible heat wave hitting Brazil, as the 60°C\140°F apparent temperature inside Engenhão led a fan to die during the Friday concert, prompting Taylor to postpone the Saturday gig to Monday hoping for better conditions (to the dismay of those who couldn't stay for more than the weekend). | ||
17 | The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes | 631,791 | Amid the goddamned pandemic, The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes revived The Hunger Games (last seen in 2015) by telling the origins of Coriolanus Snow, who in Katniss Everdeen's time is the evil president of Panem, but 64 years prior was just a starving student assigned to mentor one of the teenagers sent to kill each other in an arena, namely a girl with an affinity for both singing and snakes. If the book flew under many people's radar, more attention is brought to the film adaptation with Tom Blyth as Snow, Rachel Zegler as his Tribute, and Peter Dinklage, Jason Schwartzman, Hunter Schafer and Viola Davis in supporting roles. Reviews were mixed to positive and The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes took the top of the box office from #4. | ||
18 | Madame Web (film) | 612,138 | The solo movie for #9, where the character usually portrayed as an elderly woman was de-aged to be played by Dakota Johnson. The trailer dropped really close to release given Madame Web hits theaters on Valentine's Day, leapfrogging over the Kraven the Hunter movie that would come out this year before the actors' strike delayed it to August. | ||
19 | Travis Kelce | 598,222 | |||

21 | Dodi Fayed | 526,434 | Like last year, the most sought character as The Crown returned (with half of the episodes in its concluding season) was not one of the British royals, but Lady Di's boyfriend who died with her in that fatal car crash. | ||

23 | Robbie Williams | 515,673 | Netflix released a miniseries where this British singer tells the story of his life, with a career launched by boy band Take That and propelled further with solo hits like "Angels" and "Millennium". | ||
24 | Cassie Ventura | 484,738 | This American singer\model\actress\dancer had her career propelled by Sean Combs and dated him for over a decade, a relationship which was seemingly very dysfunctional given Ventura filed a $30 million lawsuit accusing him of rape and "repeated physical abuse", with the allegation of being a "cycle of abuse, violence and sex trafficking." She dropped the lawsuit the following day after reaching a settlement with 'Diddy'. | ||
25 | Markwayne Mullin | 480,461 | Keeping off Killers of the Flower Moon is also something related to Oklahoma, the state's junior senator who seemed to challenge Teamsters president Sean O'Brien to a fight, in which O'Brien said “I’d love to do it right now," in which Mullin responded with “stand your butt up." Thankfully, no fists were thrown. |
