Disney and Pixar’s latest animated feature Coco delivered on its promise to top the box office upon release by finishing first during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend with an estimated $49 million. While it finished just ahead of Justice League (which added $40.7 million to its coffers bringing its two-week total to $171.5 million), it received higher mark from audiences and critics alike than its competition.
Murder on the Orient Express also dropped a bit this week, earning $13 million to raise its three-week total to just above $74 million. The Star did moderately well lifting its two-week total to $22 million with a disappointing drop to $6.9 this week. A Bad Moms Christmas also continued its slide from the top ten earning just $5 million over the holiday, bringing its four-week total to $59.8 million.
A couple of independent films close out this week’s list. The Denzel Washington-led Roman J. Israel, Esq. pulled in $4.5 million to raise its two-week total to $6.3 million. While Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri raised its three-week total to $7.6 million taking in $4.4 million over the holiday break.
A new film from Woody Allen, Wonder Wheel, and the James Franco-directed The Disaster Artist both debut next week, offering some alternative pre-Christmas entertainment.
