The movie, featuring the voices of Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, and Josh Gad, grossed a bumper $123.7 million from Wednesday (November 27, 2019) to Sunday (December 1, 2019), beating the $109.9 million record previously set by The Hunger Games: Catching Fire over the same five-day holiday period in 2013.

As for its weekend (November 29, 2019 – December 1, 2019) take, that stands at $85.3 million in its second week on release.
Meanwhile, Rian Johnson’s star-studded Knives Out thriller, featuring Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Chris Evans, was another popular pick among movie-goers, surpassing expectations to bank $27 million and debut in second place.
