Box: Finally! A musical biopic about my favorite rock band!

1. Hunger Games: Mockingjay: Part 2 - $54m / $199m / $285m
2. The Good Dinosaur - $45m / $63m / $175m
3. Creed - $26m / $38m / $85m
4. Spectre - $15m / $178m / $210m
5. The Peanuts Movie - $12m / $120m / $150m
6. The Night Before - $11m / $27m / $50m
7. Victor Frankenstein - $5m / $7.5m / $16m
8. Secret In Their Eyes - $4.5m / $14.5m / $25m
9. Brooklyn - $4m / $7.5m / $35m
10. Spotlight - $4m / $12m / $50m

Hunger Games underwhelmed last weekend, but this franchise has proven it can rebound. I doubt $300m is happening, but it should be close. Good Dinosaur may end up being one of Pixar's most disappointing performers, but it's the only "new" family aimed film until around Christmas. It and Peanuts should have okay holds for the next month. Creed has great reviews and strong early reaction, so I wouldn't be surprised if $100m happens. I think bare minimum is $75m at this point. Victor Frankenstein is the exact type of "dump" that usually happens at Thanksgiving. Brooklyn and Spotlight both expand to 800+ locations and will make the top 10. Brooklyn might be the one to pay attention to as it seems to be an audience favorite. I suspect around 1000 theaters is as far as both will go right now, with a bigger push when Oscar noms are announced. Carol did very well last weekend, and won't expand until mid December. Smart move.

Happy Thanksgiving!
