The Boy and the Heron dominated the box office with a $10 million debut, followed by The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes at $9.4 million. Godzilla Minus One held steady at No. 3 with $8.3 million. Trolls Band Together and Wish completed the top five. Other notable films included Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé and Napoleon.
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. "Wish" was expected to top the chart but is now projected to have a gross in the $32-33 million range. Universal's "Trolls Band Together" and TriStar's "Thanksgiving" round out the top five.
Disney's animated film "Wish" is expected to lead the Thanksgiving box office with a domestic opening of $45M-$50M and a global opening weekend of $75M. The film follows a young girl who makes a wish on a star and gets more than she bargained for. Meanwhile, Lionsgate's "The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes" is projected to earn around $30M in its second weekend, and Apple Studios' "Napoleon" is set to debut with a global total of $46M.
Lionsgate has secured a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement for its upcoming film, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, allowing the cast to promote the movie amidst the ongoing strike. The film, set to open on November 17, is expected to make $50 million in its first three days. While many movies have been unable to promote due to the strike, Songbirds & Snakes has a rare advantage. Other films, including Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and A24's Q3 and Q4 slate, have also obtained interim agreements. However, some actors remain hesitant about promoting their films until a deal is reached between the AMPTP and the actors.
