The weekend after Thanksgiving’s five-day box office battle is typically one of the quietest of the year, so my apologies to anyone who likes their box-office reportscutthroatand competitive:Ralph Breaks the Internethandily won the weekend yet again, pulling in $25.8 million and bring its total domestic haul to $119 million. Over last week’s holiday weekend, the Disney Animation flick—which seesJohn C. ReillyandSarah Silvermanreprising theirWreck-it Ralphroles—became the second highest Thanksgiving debut of all time, behind onlyFrozen’s $93.6 million bow in 2013.
Kid-friendly animation really ruled the day, withThe Grinchplopping down in the number two spot with $17.7 million, which didn’t bode well for the weekend’s only new wide release,The Possession of Hannah Grace. The demon-fueled horror flick from Screen Gems only managed to conjure up $6.5 million in its debut. Directed byDiederik Van Rooijen, Hannah Grace starsPretty Little LiarsstarShay Mitchellas a morgue employee who must attend to the body of a girl who died during an exorcism. The film’s one saving, uh, grace is that it was only produced for about $10 million.
The downward trajectoryFantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwaldmight be something to keep an eye on; the Harry Potter sequel landed in fourth this weekend with $11.2 million, so far trending far behind the originalFantastic Beastsfilm. DirectorDavid Yates' sixth Wizarding World entry since 2007 saw a 62% drop-off from last weekend, the highest in the top ten.
Yorgos Lanthimos' madcap period pieceThe Favouritewon the specialty box office. The film—which stars the dynamite trio ofRachel Weisz,Emma Stone, andOlivia Colman—expanded to 34 theaters and took in $1.1 million, a location average of $32,500.
