Nudges below:
The last square is a rebus designed to show you how the asterisk clues work. Letters are optional.
By now you should have five things. If you’re stuck, think outside the box, particularly the big box.
Hopefully you found what you were looking for in the clues to lead you to a relevant 1976 movie. By the way, the puzzle title “12/26” is more than just a date placeholder.

Thanks for the puzzle, Peter. I was stumped by the rebus but eventually got the meta - very clever and well executed, as always

Good one! It put me in mind of a nice Week 2 or 2.5 WSJCC or MGWCC. Thanks, Peter!

doh!!!! Needed some help here. I first submitted just about every BOX movie ever released... THE BOX, BOXING DAY, THE BOXER, THE CHRISTMAS BOX.
Very clever - thanks Peter!

Very, very nice, Peter. Best wishes to all for a happy and healthy 2023. (And please pardon my reckless first submission of "Se7en," but I couldn't shake the echo of that plaintive "What's in the box?")

As the DJ on WRTI, the Philadelphia classical music station, said this morning, "And for all you sports fans, today is Boxing Day!" Great puzzle, Peter, but you should have docked me a few hundredths of a point for my Eno error!

Finally, after going through every IMDB "Box" movie, I figured out how I was really supposed to use the sandbox and the boombox, which sent me looking for how to use the others.

Needed two tries since I jumped the gun. It appears I'm not the only one! Thanks, that was fun.

This one took us a while. We realized and then forgot something was up in lower right corner. Luckily Alex thought to double check something that helped us rethink everything. Fun one! Thanks for the puzzle

I guessed it completely off of the lower right + the title of the puzzle. Still not actually seeing the mechanic! D'oh.
Enjoyed it! 24A is a fresh and new one that I especially liked.

Wonderful...loved the addition of the rebus square...it was the last one I filled in.

Nice one Peter! The grid was stellar as always, and the meta just the right amount of tricky. And the Boxing Day title to boot!

Good one! Didn't need the hints, I just couldn't do anything else while the MGWCC was in my head...

Thanks Peter. Happy New Year!
