Thanksgiving often serves up a feast of new family movies at the box office, but the Walt Disney Co.'s animated offering"Strange World" fizzled with audiences out of the gates. The production, which carried a reported $180 million budget, grossed just $18.6 million in ticket sales in its first five days and $11.9 million over the weekend in North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday.
"Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" also opened in 600 theaters nationwide for a weeklong limited run. It marks the first time a Netflix film has played in the nation's major theater chains, including AMC, Regal and Cinemark, but neither Netflix nor the exhibitors provided sales estimates for the film, which won't hit the streaming service until Dec. 23. The first"Knives Out," which was released by Lionsgate, opened to $41.4 million over Thanksgiving weekend in 2019.

Walt Disney Studios and Pixar animated titles account for the top six Thanksgiving openings of all time, including films such as"Frozen," which made $93.6 million in 2013,"Ralph Breaks the Internet," which pulled in $84.8 million in 2018 and"Moana," which earned $82.1 million when it opened in 2016.
A lack of new family oriented films over the past several weeks may have resulted in"muted" awareness for"Strange World," according to Dergarabedian. In sixth place for the weekend was Spielberg's"The Fabelmans," which is based on the filmmaker's own family and teenage years. The Universal release expanded to 638 theaters, where it earned $3.1 million over five days and $2.2 million over the weekend.
