LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) – With no new releases threatening, Disney’s animated musical fable “Enchantment” again reached number one at the national box office.
In its second release weekend, “Encanto” grossed $12.38 million at 3,980 locations across the US and Canada. That marks a 54% drop from the premiere and brings the film’s two-week total to $57.6 million domestically.
A decline of about 50% between the first and second weekends is in line with recent Disney Thanksgiving releases such as 2016’s “Moana – A Sea of Adventures” (50% down ); “Viva – A Vida É uma Festa”, 2017, (only 45% drop); “WiFi Ralph: Breaking the Internet”, from 2018, (down 54%); and “Frozen 2”, from 2019, (less 59%).
Previous Disney animations managed to make stronger starts at the domestic box office; however, these films were not being shown in theaters during a pandemic.
By Covid-19-era standards, “Enchantment” is doing well at the box office. The family adventure, which includes songs from “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, will arrive at Disney Plus after being shown exclusively in theaters for 30 days.
Aside from “Enchantment” and other titles like MGM’s crime drama “Gucci House” and Sony’s “Ghostbusters: Beyond,” Sony’s sequel to the Ghostbusters franchise, it’s all quiet at the box office, at least until the Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of “Love, Sublime Love” hits theaters Dec. 10, and Tom Holland’s comic book adventure “Spider-Man: No Return Home” hits the big screen on Dec. 17.
