With actuals now in, Disney’s Coco exceeded Sunday’s studio estimate by nearly $2 M with a weekend debut of $50.803 M. Coco took in an excellent $72.909 M over the five-day holiday frame. |
Warner’s Justice League came in slightly higher than its studio estimate with $41.090 M. Justice League grossed $60.002 M over the five-day holiday frame and has grossed $171.904 M in ten
days. |
Other actuals for the three-day frame include: Wonder ($22.674 M), Thor: Ragnarok ($16.863 M), Daddy’s Home 2 ($13.217 M), Murder on the Orient Express ($13.171 M),
The Star ($6.931 M), A Bad Moms Christmas ($4.896 M), Roman J. Israel, Esq. ($4.447 M), Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri ($4.403 M), Lady Bird ($4.058 M) and

average of $43,752 and has grossed $247 K in five days. |
Weekend Estimates Update: |
Disney’s Coco was off to a successful first place start this weekend with an estimated $49.02 M. The critically acclaimed Lee Unkrich directed computer animated film from Pixar took in an
estimated $71.20 M over the five-day Thanksgiving holiday frame. Coco debuted towards the higher end of expectations and was off to an especially encouraging start with the film’s excellent critical reviews and strong
early word of mouth in mind. Coco delivered the fourth largest three-day Thanksgiving weekend debut ever (behind only 2013’s Frozen, 1999’s Toy Story 2 and last year’s Moana). Disney has an
especially strong track record with Thanksgiving weekend releases, as the top nine three-day Thanksgiving weekend debuts are all currently Disney releases. In comparison to the most recent Thanksgiving weekend Disney releases,
Coco is running a healthy 28.4 percent ahead of the $55.46 M five-day haul of 2015’s The Good Dinosaur and just 13.3 percent behind the $82.080 M five-day launch of Moana. Coco also received a bit
of extra help this weekend from the animated short Olaf’s Frozen Adventure playing before the film. |
Coco grossed $18.94 M on Black Friday, was down a slim 2.8 percent on Saturday to take in $18.41 M and is estimated to decline 36.6 percent on Sunday to gross $11.67 M. As mentioned, critical
reviews for Moana have been terrific. The film has a current rating of 9.294 on our LoveHate Rate aggregate measurement of critical and
online user ratings (which is currently the second highest rating of 2017 to date, behind only Lady Bird). Coco is also going over very well with audiences, as the film received an exceptional A+ rating on
CinemaScore. Expect Coco to hold up very nicely throughout the holiday season. |
Internationally, Coco grossed an estimated $30.7 M this weekend from 22 international markets. That brings the film’s international total to $82.2 M and global haul to $153.4 M. Coco has
been playing in Mexico for five weeks, where the film’s total gross stands at a record-breaking $53.4 M after taking in an additional $2.2 M this weekend. International debuts for Coco this weekend included $18.2 M in
China and $3.1 M in Russia. Coco will debut in additional international markets next weekend, including France, Germany and Spain. |
Warner’s Justice League placed in second this weekend with an estimated $40.73 M. That represented a sharp, but understandable 56.6 percent decline from the film’s opening weekend performance. Over
the five-day holiday frame, Justice League took in an estimated $59.65 M. The ten-day start for Justice League stands at a softer than expected $171.55 M, which represents an underwhelming performance with the
film’s expensive price tag and event film status in mind. While Justice League had a significantly better second weekend percentage hold than last year’s Suicide Squad
(which fell 67.4 percent in its second weekend to take in $43.54 M), Justice League is still running 22.9 percent behind the $222.64 M ten-day gross of Suicide Squad. |
Internationally, Justice League took in an estimated $72.2 M from 66 international markets. Justice League has now grossed $309.8 M internationally and $481.3 M globally. International
totals to date for key markets include $83.1 M in China, $24.9 M in Brazil, $18.2 M in Mexico, $16.6 M in the U.K., $12.0 M in Korea, $10.1 M in Australia and $10.0 M in France. |
Lionsgate’s Wonder continued to impress this weekend with an estimated third place take of $22.30 M. The well-received Stephen Chbosky directed film starring Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson and
Jacob Tremblay was down just 19.0 percent from last weekend’s break-out debut. For the five-day frame, Wonder grossed an estimated $32.25 M. Wonder is quickly becoming one of the biggest surprise hits of 2017 with a
ten-day gross of $69.44 M. At this rate, it won’t be long before Wonder zooms past the $100 M domestic mark, especially with the remainder of the holiday season still ahead of it. Wonder is running 3.9 percent
ahead of the $66.85 M ten-day launch of 2008’s Bolt and 30.7 percent behind the $100.24 M ten-day take of 2009’s The Blind Side. The current total gross to opening weekend ratio for Wonder already stands at
2.52 to 1. |
Disney’s Thor: Ragnarok took fourth place with an estimated $16.79 M. Thor: Ragnarok was down 22.5 percent from last weekend. That represented a very solid hold, especially given that
Thor: Ragnarok was playing in 779 fewer locations this weekend than last weekend. Thor: Ragnarok has grossed a mighty $277.47 M in 24 days, which leaves the film just $22.53 M away from reaching
the $300 M domestic milestone. Internationally, Thor: Ragnarok took in an estimated $11.0 M this weekend from 56 markets. That brings the film’s international total to $512.6 M and global haul to $790.1 M. |
Meanwhile, Paramount’s Daddy’s Home 2 and Fox’s Murder on the Orient Express remained close to one another at the box office with respective estimated fifth and sixth place takes of
$13.25 M and $13.00 M. Daddy’s Home 2 was down only 8.2 percent from last weekend, while Murder on the Orient Express declined an even slimmer 5.8 percent. The race was even closer between the two over the
five-day holiday frame, as Daddy’s Home 2 took in an estimated $18.64 M and Murder on the Orient Express grossed an estimated $18.62 M. Respective 17-day totals stand at $74.25 M for
Murder on the Orient Express and at $72.66 M for Daddy’s Home 2, as both films continue to exceed expectations. |
In other box office news, Sony’s Roman J. Israel, Esq., Fox Searchlight’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and A24’s Lady Bird were all close to one another as all three
films received major expansions over the holiday frame. Roman J. Israel led the pack with an estimated $4.52 M take over the weekend from 1,669 locations and $6.20 M over the five-day frame. Three Billboards took
in an estimated $4.40 M from just 614 locations for the weekend (giving it a strong per-location average of $7,166) and $5.86 M over the five-day frame. Lady Bird did experience a bit of relative slowing this weekend, with a
still healthy estimated $4.04 M over the weekend from 791 locations and $5.37 M over five days. Total grosses to date stand at $10.70 M for Lady Bird, at $7.62 M for Three Billboards and at a modest $6.27 M for
Roman J. Israel. |
While that trio of films expanded this weekend, Sony Pictures Classics’ Call Me By Your Name and Focus’ Darkest Hour began their respective platform runs this weekend in New York and
Los Angeles. Call Me By Your Name was off to a terrific start with an estimated $405 K over the three-day frame, for a massive per-location average of $101,219. Darkest Hour wasn’t as strong, with a still
promising estimated $176 K over the weekend (for a per-location average of $44,000) and $248 K in its first five days. Both Call Me By Your Name and Darkest Hour will hope to be major players throughout this
year’s awards season. |
