“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1″ was the clear choice among Thanksgiving moviegoers, but Katniss Everdeen didn’t leave much left over for “Horrible Bosses 2″ or “Penguins of Madagascar” to feast on.
The futuristic adventure pulled in a massive $82.7 million over the five day holiday and $56.9 million in its sophomore weekend.
Unfortunately, “Turkey Day’s” two new entries disappointed in their debuts. The spin-off of DreamWorks Animation’s “Madagascar” franchise made $25.8 million in its first weekend from 3,762 locations and $36 million over the five day holiday. It had been expected to generate in the mid to high $40 million range in ticket sales. The film cost $132 million to produce, so it will look to overseas audiences as it tries to become profitable.
“Horrible Bosses 2″ pulled in $15.7 million this weekend, which was only good enough for a fifth place finish.
