Box Office Odds Favor The Hunger Games Prequel, As Wish Serves Up Another Disappointing Thanksgiving For Disney

Rachel Zegler and Tom Blyth in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbird and Snakes.

It was no surprise that the audience enjoyed The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes more than the critics, but it was impressive that moviegoers continued to show their support for the book-to-screen adaptation enough for it to repeat as the No. 1 movie over a long Thanksgiving weekend. That means it was another disappointing holiday for Disney, which used to reign over Thanksgiving with its family-friendly animated offerings, as Wish came in third place at the box office, pulling in just $31.7 million over its first five days, behind Napoleon, which exceeded expectations with $32.5 million.

Check out the full Top 10 on the chart below, then we’ll break down all the numbers from this past weekend.
