In it's second weekend* at the box office, Frozen fought off Catching Fire and was able to take first place with $31.6 million. To date, the Disney movie has earned $134.2 and is likely to have strong ticket sales all month long. Lionsgate won't be complaining about Catching Fire's performance, though. The movie is still strong and added another $27 million to its total over the weekend. To date, Catching Fire has earned $336 million in the US alone.
All other movies in the top ten didn't get anywhere near the $10 million mark. Out of the Furnace placed third with $5.3 million, while Thor: The Dark World made $4.7 million this weekend and is very close to breaking the $200 million mark in the US. Next weekend, we'll see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug take the top spot at the box office and we expect solid numbers for Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas as well. Here are the top ten results for this weekend:
1. Frozen - $31,641,000
2. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - $27,000,000
3. Out of the Furnace - $5,300,000
