Thanksgiving Box Office: 'Hunger Games' Prequel and 'Napoleon' Dominate as 'Wish' Falters

TL;DR Summary
The Hunger Games prequel, "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes," is projected to top the Thanksgiving box office with a gross of over $40 million in North America, while Ridley Scott's historical epic, "Napoleon," starring Joaquin Phoenix, is in a close race for second place with Disney Animation's "Wish." Despite earning a B- CinemaScore, "Napoleon" is performing well, exceeding expectations for an adult drama.
