Thanksgiving often serves up a feast of new family movies, but the Walt Disney Co.’s animated offering “Strange World” fizzled with audiences — grossing just $11.9 million over the weekend in North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Between the “Glass Onion” mystery and the “Strange World” miss, it was a reminder that the exhibition business is still far from normal.
Disney has historically “owned” the Thanksgiving weekend. Walt Disney Studios and Pixar animated titles account for the top six Thanksgiving openings of all time, including films such as “Frozen,” which made $93.6 million in 2013, “Ralph Breaks the Internet,” which pulled in $84.8 million in 2018 and “Moana,” which earned $82.1 million when it opened in 2016.
Third place went to “Devotion,” directed by JD Dillard and starring Jonathan Majors and Glenn Powel, which made $9 million in its first five days and $6 million over the weekend from 3,405 locations. The film was made by Black Label Media and distributed by Columbia Pictures in 3,405 locations. The war epic is based on the true story of Jesse Brown, the first Black aviator in the history of the U.S.
