Thursday (Thanksgiving) estimates:

Coco, $8.9M
Justice League, $8.5M
Wonder, $3.9M
Thor: Ragnarok, $3.5M
Murder on the Orient Express, $3.0M
Daddy's Home 2, $2.7M
The Star, $1.0M
Roman J. Israel, Esq., $930K
A Bad Moms Christmas, $830K
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, $665K
Lady Bird, $573K
The Man Who Invented Christmas, $255K



I gotta say, Orient Express and Daddy's Home 2 are holding really well. Given the dearth of wide-release films coming in the next two weeks, I have no reason to believe they can't both cross $90M, perhaps even $100M, before they're done.

Finally a few films are over-performing on my FY slate. Murder should play well for the next few weeks till we hit the heavy hitters in December and Call Me looks to have a nice long run till the oscars.

I expect Coco to perform ahead of that estimate. Sundays are usually quite strong for Latino-aimed films (and Saturday here was looking good).
