Wreck-It Ralph 2 Has Second Best Thanksgiving Opening Weekend

Despite Creed II putting up a good fight (pun intended), Disney continued its dominance over the Thanksgiving weekend, with Ralph Breaks the Internet (a.k.a. Wreck-It Ralph 2) taking in $55.7 million over the three-day weekend and $84.5 million over the five-day Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The five-day total is the second best in Thanksgiving history, just behind the $93.6 million earned by Frozen in 2013, and just above the $82.1 million Moana earned in 2016. We’re delving deeper into the numbers to compare the three-day tally to the rest of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ movies, with many of the studio’s most recent hits arriving over the holiday.

The petition was inspired by a rather macabre comment Curry made in response to last month’s comments made by Bethesda VP of PR and marketing, which implied the Elder Scrolls 6 might still be several years away from release.

Gaming on an ultrawide is a wonderfully immersive experience.
