To lead things off, Ralph Breaks The Internet took home a hefty $84.5 million from just over 4,000 theaters across the continent, which is the second-best Thanksgiving showing of all time behind 2013’s Frozen! WOW!!!
Right behind the animated flick, MGM‘s Creed II landed a strong $55.8 million from about 3,500 theaters — which officially makes it the top Thanksgiving start ever for a live-action film!
Records all around!

The Favourite, an Oscars hopeful this winter, scored the very best location average at the box office in a limited opening since La La Land swept theaters in a similar way about two years ago.
