The Thanksgiving holiday weekend is always an interesting one. With several prominent holdovers and three major new films, there should be a flood of business this week. While the second week of Fantastic Beasts should be decent, it won’t be enough to top any of the three other releases. Likely placing third place this weekend, Robin Hood can look to 2010’s version for guidance on how well it can perform. With $36 million, the Russell Crowe-starrer opened strong, but there isn’t that level of talent at the top, nor behind the camera. Fighting for second with Robin Hood, but likely coming in second, Creed II hopes to best the weekend numbers for its predecessor, which opened to $29 million three years ago. Residual love should help this film, rise above the retelling of Robin Hood for a second place finish. At the top of the weekend box office, though, should be Disney’s Ralph Breaks the Internet, the sequel to its $189 million 2012 hit, which opened to $49 million that year. With competition only from Fantastic Beasts, I suspect it could top its predecessor as well, giving it a fairly wide berth to the number one position.

Wesley Lovell (WL): The original film was the best animated film of its year and should have won over the formulaic Brave. I’m incredibly stoked about the sequel. |
