Disney's "Moana" sailed to the top of the Thanksgiving box office, earning a mighty $81.1 million over the five-day holiday period and $55.5 million for the weekend. "Moana" now ranks as the second biggest Thanksgiving debut ever, behind only "Frozen," which made $93.6 million in its first five days. Disney did not release a budget, but most animated films cost between $150 million to $200 million to produce. Paramount's "Allied" earned $18 million over the five-day period and $13 million for the weekend, a weak result given its $85 million budget. The Harry Potter spin-off picked up $65.8 million for the five-day period and $45.1 million in its sophomore weekend.
