Meanwhile, Wicked: For Good continued its victory parade to the tune of $93 million, while some older holdovers did some decent business, too. It&#8217;s a perfect example of the old adage, &#8220;a rising tide lifts all boats.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Zootopia opened huge, with $156 in five days. For comparison, it took the original Zootopia 12 days to reach $154 million. Granted, that film opened in March and not over a big holiday, so it&#8217;s not an apples-to-apples comparison, but it&#8217;s a sure bet that <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/zootopia-2-frenzy-china-continues-095247188.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Zootopia 2;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Zootopia 2<\/a> will eclipse the $341 million total of the 2016 original.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In second place, we have the second weekend of Wicked: For Good. Over its first ten days, the sequel to the prequel to The Wizard of Oz has grossed $270 million. It&#8217;s currently seven million dollars ahead of the original Wicked over its first ten days, but I expect the original to start pacing ahead by the end of next weekend, if not sooner. Still, even if Wicked: For Good winds up a bit less successful than its predecessor, that doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s not still tremendously successful!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now You See Me: Now You Don&#8217;t comfortably won the bronze medal, earning $10 million over the five-day frame. Its total after three weekends is $49 million, and it&#8217;s pacing a hair behind Now You See Me 2, which ended its run with $65 million back in 2016. Just behind Now You See Me, there&#8217;s Predator: Badlands, which brought in $6.25 million for the long weekend, bringing its total to $85 million. I have to admit, I was a bit nervous for Predator: Badlands after its second weekend drop-off of 68%, but it seems to have stabilized since then. I don&#8217;t know if it has the juice to crack $100 million domestically, but it&#8217;s still turned out to be a financially successful entry in the long-running action\/sci-fi\/horror series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In sixth place, we have newcomer Eternity. I&#8217;ll never, for the life of me, understand the decision to release this A24 take on the classic rom-com formula over the Thanksgiving weekend, when it would have fared better over Christmas or Valentine&#8217;s Day. I suppose A24&#8217;s films always do their best business after the theatrical window, but I&#8217;d love to learn the official reasoning behind putting this one out to die against Wicked and Zootopia. The film, starring Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller, and Callum Turner, grossed $5.2 million over the five-day weekend, which actually isn&#8217;t too bad considering it only played at 1,300 theaters. Still not great, though.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The last notable new release of the weekend is Hamnet, which opened in eighth place, grossing $1.35 million for the five-day weekend at only 119 theaters. It&#8217;s a solid start, but we&#8217;ll have to wait and see if it has the buzz to grow or if it&#8217;s a one-weekend wonder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Next week, we&#8217;ll see if Five Nights at Freddy&#8217;s can maintain the momentum of the original, which opened to a staggering $80 million back in 2023. We&#8217;ll also have the long-awaited &#8216;director&#8217;s cut&#8217; redux of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, an adaptation of Merrily We Roll Along with my favorite dreamboat, Jonathan Groff, and&#8230; Uh oh. I don&#8217;t know what Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution is, but it&#8217;s anime, and we always bet on anime, so don&#8217;t be surprised if this one becomes an unexpected hit!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/box-office-report-wicked-defies-043501095.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Box Office Report: Wicked Defies Gravity, Sisu and Rental Family Underwhelm;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Related: Box Office Report: Wicked Defies Gravity, Sisu and Rental Family Underwhelm<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hollywood had plenty to be thankful for this Thanksgiving weekend, as Zootopia opened to a stellar $156 million over the five-day weekend.
