Disney's new animated film Moana dominated the domestic box office, claiming the top spot with $55.5 million over the three-day Thanksgiving weekend.
The film's domestic total currently stands at a whopping $81.1 million, following its mid-week debut five days ago. As noted by Variety, Moana is one of many massive hits released by Disney in 2016, with Zootopia, Captain America: Civil War, Doctor Strange, Finding Dory and The Jungle Book all currently claiming a spot amongst this year's 10 top-grossing films.
Unfortunately for Paramount, director Robert Zebecks' film Allied had a far less successful debut. The romantic thriller starring Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard placed fourth with $13 million over the three-day weekend, and earned just $18 million during its first five days in theaters, falling far short of its $85 million production budget.
Broad Green Pictures' Bad Santa 2 also had an underwhelming debut. The R-rated comedy starring Billy Bob Thornton placed seventh with $6.1 million over the three-day weekend and $9 million over its initial five-day run. Warren Beatty's new romantic drama Rules Don't Apply fared even worse, debuting to a mere $2.2 million during its first five days and just $1.6 million over the three-day weekend.
Meanwhile, last week's leader, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, slipped to second with $45.1 million, and Doctor Strange dropped to third place with $13.4 million.
