That’s one of the smallest drops ever for a $100 million-plus opener, behind only Shrek 2 (-33% for a $72 million weekend after a $108 million debut in May of 2004). It’s actually the third-biggest second-weekend gross, behind Beauty and the Beast ($90 million from a $174 million debut in 2017) and Universal’s Jurassic World ($105 million from a $208 million debut in 2015) that isn’t a Star Wars or MCU movie. It topped Hunger Games: Catching Fire’s $74 million/$109 million second frame to snag the best Thanksgiving weekend ever. Post-Thanksgiving legs between Justice League (1.33x) and the first Twilight (1.6x) still gets Frozen II between $383 million and $461 million domestic. In this sense, Frozen II = The Force Awakens.
