It’s Thanksgiving weekend for our pals in the U.S., which means big time movie grosses are expected over the next three days. Will a Disney newcomer be able to take down Catching Fire? Here’s our prediction:
Frozen is a computer animated film from Disney staring the of Kristen Bell about a young princess who is travelling to find her sister, the Snow Fairy. The movie is already off to an excellent start, grossing $15 million on Wednesday. While it will definitely find a family audience this weekend, it probably won’t be enough to top the box office. Look for a second place showing with $45 million.

Also new this weekend is Homefront, featuring an great cast that includes Jason Statham, James Franco, Winona Ryder and Kate Bosworth. With a screenplay by Sylvester Stallone, the movie is an adaptation of the book by Chuck Logan about a DEA agent who runs into a meth dealer. This is just the wrong weekend for Homefront – nothing screams family about this one. Look for a fourth place showing with $10 million.
