‘Coco' Beats ‘Justice League' Over Holiday Weekend

Disney-Pixar's ”Coco" handily won the Thanksgiving holiday box office over the second weekend of Warner Bros.-DC Entertainment's ”Justice League," with $71.2 million at 3,987 North American sites during the Wednesday-Sunday period.

”Justice League" pulled in about $60 million at 4,051 locations during the same timeframe. The superhero action-adventure, the fifth in the DC Extended Universe, has totaled $172 million in its first 10 days.

”Coco" posted for the third-best Thanksgiving holiday opening ever, trailing three other Disney titles — ”Frozen" with $93 million in 2013, ”Moana" with $82 million in 2017 and ”Toy Story 3" with $80 million in 2010.

Audiences surveyed by comScore's PostTrak gave ”Coco" strong ratings with 66% calling it ”excellent," and another 23% rating it ”very good." Surveys also showed 77% of viewers saying they would ”definitely recommend" the movie to friends and 20% saying they would watch it again in a theater.

”Coco," directed by Lee Unkrich and co-directed by Adrian Molina, is based on the traditions surrounding the Day of the Dead holiday in Mexico and centers on a 12-year-old boy who dreams of becoming a musician and explores his family history in the Land of the Dead. The studio has not released a price for the movie. Disney-Pixar titles are usually budgeted in the $175 million to $200 million range.

”Justice League," which teams up the DC characters in the same manner as Disney-Marvel's superheroes, is already in the top 15 of titles released in 2017 and has opened with a B+ CinemaScore. It's been the lowest performer among the DC Extended Universe. ”Wonder Woman" grossed $206.3 million in its first 10 days in June and ”Suicide Squad" took in $222.6 million in its first 10 days in August 2016.

Gal Gadot stars as Wonder Woman along with Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as the Flash, and Ray Fisher as Cyborg as the superheroes team up to save the world. Warner Bros. has not disclosed the production cost, which is believed to be as much as $300 million.

Lionsgate's family drama ”Wonder" continued to show impressive traction in third place with about $32 million at 3,140 locations for a 10-day total of more than $69 million. The film, which stars Jacob Tremblay as a fifth grader with a facial deformity, has a modest $20 million budget.

Disney-Marvel's ”Thor: Ragnarok" finished fourth with about $24 million at 3,281 sites, lifting its 24-day domestic total to $277 million. It's topped ”Despicable Me 3" as the sixth-highest grosser of 2017.

Sony Classics saw stellar returns from its platform release of coming-of-age drama ”Call Me by Your Name" with $404,874 at four venues in Los Angeles and New York since its Friday launch for an impressive per-screen average of $101,219. That's the best limited opening of 2017, topping the ”Lady Bird" launch with $364,437 on four screens, and the highest since ”La La Land" opened with $881,104 at five venues last December.

Called the almost -60% drop for Justice League.

Thought Coco would’ve had a stronger opening though, especially after 5 days and amazing reviews. Wonder what happened there...

Almost 60% drop for Justice League over the holiday weekend. Yikes...kept telling my friends that "It was alright for what it was" reviews and word of mouth weren't gonna make anyone seek it out.

Coco seemed to rally last minute with stellar reviews. Didn't seem to be a lot of excitement for it but then the Mexico release went well and it turned out to be a crowd pleaser.

The Good Dinosaur wasn't that good, and I didn't like Inside Out personally. I was weary of Coco but I will be watching it now after hearing some positive feedback. From my perspective, people just don't go to theaters as blindly as they used to. I myself look at reviews and reactions before considering a movie ticket purchase, especially considering the price of admission now.

This is like the average for movies around this time, please correct me if I'm wrong, but mostly movies with low budgets that are shooting for oscars release around this time. JL and Coco should've released in September or October.

It opened way under projections. It also cost over $300 M...the hope was that it could crawl to the finish line, but it's not even in the race at this point. The domestic numbers are probably going to be under Man of Steel. There isn't any sugar coating this pill, sadly. It's performing like midtier Marvel movies, but at double the production budget.

Last week people were being a little kinder because it premiered before the holiday and could've had a really soft drop (sub 50%) but it's collapsing into itself.

That is true indeed.
It's a shame as I thought it was flawed but decent fun, the budget was never going to help it will make money worldwide obviously but it's not a good showing for aquaman if people did not see the film setting him up!
