Frozen 2 kept a wintry wind at its back in its second week, setting a Thanksgiving record with a whopping box office bounty, while newcomer Knives Out found its own broad audience, the AP reports. Disney's new set of adventures for Anna, Elsa, and Olaf brought in $85.3 million in the US and Canada over the weekend and earned an unprecedented $132.7 million for the holiday frame of Wednesday through Sunday, according to studio estimates. The first Frozen opened on Thanksgiving in 2013 and became a pop-culture phenomenon, earning $1.27 billion worldwide and selling countless Elsa and Anna dresses. The sequel has more than showed that the six years since has brought no thaw. It has already earned $739 million globally and should certainly surpass the original’s totals.
Knives Out, the innovative whodunit from writer and director Rian Johnson, rode great reviews and strong social media buzz to a $27 million weekend and a five-day domestic total of $41.7 million that easily earned back its budget. The weekend's other newcomer, Queen & Slim, finished down in fifth with $11.7 million. Ford v Ferrari rolled along in its third weekend of release, finishing in third place with $13.2 million. Tom Hanks' Mister Rogers story A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood also hummed along in its second weekend, earning $11.8 million to put it fourth at the domestic box office.
