Disney's 'Wish' Fizzles, 'Napoleon' Beats Expectations as 'Hunger Games' Reigns at Thanksgiving Box Office

Disney's animated film "Wish" disappoints at the box office, falling short of expectations with $31.7 million over the five-day Thanksgiving weekend, landing in third place behind "The Hunger Games" prequel and "Napoleon." The film's weak performance highlights Disney's recent struggles at the box office, with most of their 2023 releases underperforming. Meanwhile, "Napoleon," an R-rated war epic, opens in second place with $32.5 million. Apple's big-budget film "Killers of the Flower Moon" also underperforms, but the company is more focused on generating buzz for their streaming service, Apple TV+. "The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" remains on top, while "Trolls Band Together" and "Thanksgiving" round out the top five.
