For the third year in a row, a Disney movie has won the box office the weekend following the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
"Ralph Breaks the Internet" took in an estimated $25.7 million over the weekend, upping its North American total to $119 million.
Last year it was "Coco" that dominated the box office this time of year, bringing in $27.5 million . The year before that, it was "Moana" with a $28.2 million take its second weekend.
In the past few years, Disney would follow up its Thanksgiving release with a "Star Wars" movie that would then dominate the box office until the new year. Though Disney doesn't have a "Star Wars" title out this December, the studio hopes that it can get some good coin from "Mary Poppins Returns," when it opens Dec. 19.
In a surprise for second place this weekend, Universal/Illumination's "The Grinch" snuck past MGM's "Creed II" to get the silver taking in $17.7 million versus $16.8 million for the "Creed" sequel.
