Pixar's 'Coco' tops 'Justice League' to win the Thanksgiving weekend box office
Disney/Pixar
- Disney/Pixar dominated the Thanksgiving holiday weekend at the multiplex once again.
- "Pixar" won the long holiday weekend with an estimated $72 million.
- The animated movie knocked off "Justice League," which took in $60 million to come in second place.
Pixar and Disney Animated Studios have dominated the Thanksgiving holiday weekend over the past handful of years, giving us titles like "Frozen," "Moana," "The Good Dinosaur," and "Tangled." Now you can add Pixar's latest "Coco" to that list.
The emotional look at a boy's journey to the Land of the Dead to better understand his family and celebrate his relatives who have passed away took in a solid $49 million over the weekend and $72 million total over the five-day holiday weekend domestically, according to Exhibitor Relations.
To put that in perspective with the Disney/Pixar Thanksgiving domestic releases of the past, that opening is better than "The Good Dinosaur" ($39.1 million three-day / $55.4 million five-day) and "Tangled" ($48.7 million / $68.7 million) but didn't perform as well as "Moana" ($56.6 million / $82 million), "Frozen" ($67.4 million / $93.9 million), or "Toy Story 2" ($57.4 million / $80.5 million).
"Coco" took in $8.9 million on Thanksgiving day with an audience that was 39% Hispanic over the weekend - a strong number that Disney/Pixar was striving for.
Warner Bros.'s "Justice League" dropped down to second place with $60 million over the five days. The $300 million-budgeted superhero blockbuster now has a weak domestic total of $171 million.
"Wonder" continued its surprising run for Lionsgate by taking in $32 million over five days to win third place.
But audiences didn't show up for Denzel Washington's latest, "Roman J. Israel, Esq.," as the Sony drama only earned $6 million over the five days on over 1,600 screens.
