Box-Office: MOCKINGJAY PART 1 Dominated Thanksgiving Week

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" remained undisputed this weekend with a 3-day gross of $56 million, making it the third highest-grossing Thanksgiving release. However, the previous installment in the franchise, "Catching Fire" performed much better with $110 million grossed in the 5 days of Thanksgiving week last year. 

Mockingjay's strong performance meant that this week's new releases had to contend with the leftover scraps. "Penguins of Madagascar" opened in second place with $25 million over the weekend and $36 million in the 5 days since Thanksgiving, a weak performance for the DreamWorks' spinoff which cost $132 million to make.

Another victim was "Horrible Bosses 2", which ranked fifth with $23M million over the same 5-day timeframe. The comedy sequel wasn't so expensive with a budget estimated at $42 million, so they shouldn't have a problem turning a profit. The result isn't all that shocking since the original "Horrible Bosses" grossed $28 million in its opening weekend, and this wouldn't be the first comedy sequel to gross less than the original. For a case in point, "The Hangover" sequels each earned less than the previous installment.

Meanwhile, "Big Hero 6" and "Interstellar" are still performing incredibly well, with the latter actually showing an increase from last weekend, possibly due to the fact that the trailer for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" was shown in 20 IMAX theaters before Nolan's film over the 5-day holiday. 

New Wide Releases: "Penguins of Madagascar", "Horrible Bosses 2".

Biggest Drop : "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" (-53%)
