Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures enjoyed a $19.5 million opening weekend for Wish and an opening of $31.7 million over the extended weekend.

After finishing in fourth place last weekend, Thanksgiving dropped to fifth this week where it added $7.3 million for TriStar Pictures, raising its overall total to $24.2 million.
Falling three spots to land in sixth place this weekend was The Marvels which added $6.4 million to raise its three-week total to $76.9 million for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

Finally, debuting on the top ten in tenth place was Saltburn with $1.7 million. The film has now brought in $3.1 million for Warner Bros. over the last two weeks.

After two weeks in release and one in the top ten, Next Goal Wins departs after bringing in $5.7 million for Searchlight Pictures. Five weeks after being released, Priscilla exists the top ten leaving A24 $19.6 million richer.
