Disney Pixar’s Coco tops US box office on Thanksgiving weekend as Justice League slides
The Justice League has taken another tumble at the Box Office this weekend, as it was knocked off the top spot by Disney Pixar animation.
Coco – which follows aspiring musician Miguel who enters the Land of the Dead to work out why his family banned music – took $49 million over the Thanksgiving weekend, leaving the Justice League to follow in second place with $40.1 million.
Rounding off the top five is Daddy’s Home 2, all according to BoxOfficeMojo.
The sequel comedy took $13.5 million this weekend, and was followed closely by Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express with $13 million.
In at seventh place is Sony’s new entry The Star, another animated feature which follows a small but brave donkey (voiced by former The Walking Dead star Steven Yeun) and his animal friends as they become the unsung heroes of the first Christmas.
The movie took $6.875 million – which ain’t half bad for a movie about a talking donkey (although fans of Shrek may disagree).
