Weekend Box Office - Thanksgiving '13 - Fire, Frozen, (pun goes here) tons of money

Friday:

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - $31,250,000
Frozen - $26,855,000
Thor - $4,451,000
Best Man Holiday - $3,400,000
Delivery Man - $2,726,000
Homefront - $2,632,000
The Book Thief - $1,900,000
Black Nativity - $1,565,000
Philomena - $1,332,000
Last Vegas - $1,105,000
Gravity - $1,075,000

Catching Fire - 5 Day Estimate: $110m, 3 Day Estimate: $76.6m
Frozen - 5 Day Estimate: $90m, 3 Day Estimate: $63.8m

I actually think the 3-day numbers for Frozen are low, and will be a smidge higher when the weekend ends.

Edit:

Wednesday:
Catching Fire $20,700,000
Frozen: $15,214,000

Thrusday:
Catching Fire $14,900,000
Frozen: $11,086,000

You're surprised that an old-as-shit script written for Stallone is under-performing at the box office?

The trailer looked horrendous.

Not that Rotten Tomatoes is the end all, but 35% + not a lot of marketing or hype, doesn't seem surprising at all. I never even heard of the movie except for a few commercials recently the last week; and a terrible time to release to boot. Doesn't seem anything to shake a head at. Although the audience ratings are pretty high, so it's probably one of those movies that are more fun then it looks.

Ha, ever heard of Homefront until I read this thread. Written by Stallone, and Statham and James Franco as the frontmen - how could it go wrong? Easily I suppose.

James Franco is in Homefront? Is he going for the record of being in every movie this year?

From Box Office Guru:

Moviegoers had no interest in Spike Lee's American remake of Oldboy which debuted to an estimated $850,000 from 583 sites for a pitiful $1,458 average. Reviews were not so great for the FilmDistrict release which had $1.3M in sales since its Wednesday launch. Opening such a dark story over a holiday weekend when audiences demand happy and cheery films was a big gamble from the day it got moved from its previous release date of October 25.

Catching Fire is happy and cheery?

I didn't see a single ad for Oldboy.

Looks like Catching Fire is guaranteed 400M now. Wow.

I agree, the trailer looks cliched and completely uninteresting - you couldn't pay me to see the full length movie.

Assuming I don't get Homefront to review, I will support it with my Blu-ray dollars.

It looks like a Redbox rental, maybe it'll find a bit of an audience on video, but the trailer did kind of look DTV-ish to me.
