“The Thanksgiving holiday weekend is traditionally one of the
biggest box office weekends of the year, and over the years Disney
has used it to launch several of their highest-grossing animated
titles including the start of Pixar’s iconic series Toy Story in
1995,” said Brad Brevet, IMDbPro’s Box Office Editor. “The studio’s
2013 release Frozen holds the record for the largest three and
five-day Thanksgiving opening weekend and the studio itself holds
an astonishing nine of the top 10 spots in the Thanksgiving record
books, including last year’s release Moana, Pixar’s Toy Story 2 and
the 2010 hit Tangled. This year they’ll be looking to add to those
records with the release of Coco, the latest animated hit from
Pixar, which has already become the highest-grossing release of
all-time in Mexico.”
“The entertainment industry will be closely watching
Thanksgiving weekend for a sign that this year’s box office results
will improve by year end,” said Matt Kumin, Head of IMDbPro.
“IMDbPro and Box Office Mojo offer our members unrivaled box office
insights and analysis throughout the year, as well as a host of
other information and tools designed to help entertainment industry
professionals monitor and dig deeper into industry trends.”
