Spider people are having a good year in media.
Edit: Not so much people getting caught in Spider webs.

Leading up to its Dec. 14 release, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse will receive an extra $115M promotional boost from an array of global brands, making it one of Sony's largest in the studio's history, up there with Spider-Man: Homecoming which counted $140M value. Spider-Verse also outstrips the recent $80M global brand promo of Universal/Illumination's The Grinch.
Typically brands at this time of year seek to capitalize on Christmastime to drive sales, but the fact that they're partnering with Spider-Man speaks to his commercial power, arguably up there with Star Wars.

I forgot about that Mary Poppins movie, could end up like that Nutcracker one.
Nah, there's a Star Wars/Jumanji-sized hole (specifically in regards to the family movie-going exerience over the holidays) in this Christmas lineup that I think Mary Poppins will fill.
Also, Nutcracker was bad, and Mary Poppins is being called one of the better films of the year in early buzz. Seems like a good fit in December.
I love Joe Cornish, but they haven't really done a good job of selling the film (or potentially it's a damn train wreck). But the boxoffce.com prediction feels more enthusiastic than I would be based on the publicly available metrics. I want it to be good, I want it to do well, I'm... just not seeing that being the case right now. At least I'll always have this:Oh man, are the knives out for this movie? I've been wishing Joe Cornish luck with it.
