Despite being in its second week of release, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 reigned supreme over the Thanksgiving weekend, pulling in a total of $75.75M over 5 days. However, this feat was somewhat marred by the fact that it's by far the least successful Hunger Games movie so far, and the only installment not to pass $200 million domestically during its second weekend.
Nevertheless, it held off plenty of new releases. Disney/Pixar's The Good Dinosaur scored $55.6M over the same 5-day stretch. However, with a 3-day total of $39.2M, it was the lowest opening for a Pixar movie since 1998's A Bug's Life. The movie has so-far received good (but not great) reviews, and was most likely overshadowed by The Hunger Games in the eyes of audiences.
Elsewhere, Creed helped stage a modest resurgence for the Rocky series, posting a 5-day cume of $42.6M, and a franchise-high total of $30.1M over its first three days. The movie stole plenty of headlines, after picking up a remarkable 92% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Talk about a comeback for star Michael B. Jordan after the debacle that was Fant4stic eh?
Speaking of debacles, Victor Frankenstein bombed to the tune of $3.4M. The less said about that, the better. Here's your Top 5 for the 5-day Thanksgiving period. Did you see any of these movies this weekend? Let me know what you thought of them in the comments below!
