Disney's latest animated tale remains at 3 this weekend with $3.6 Million, a reasonable 29% drop over last weekend.
A $30.4 Million total after 4 weeks of release is causing Disney to put the animated feature on Disney+ sooner rather than later and will be removing from cinemas in the coming weeks.

Highest new movie this weekend
Highest new entry of the weekend goes to the Christmas themed movie about a bad ass Santa who saves a family being held for ransom in their house.
The movie directed by Tommy Wirkola and starring David Harbour lands at number 2 this weekend with a gross of $13.3 Million.
Not bad for a Christmas horror based movie, in comparison Krampus from 2015 landed at the same time of year with a debut gross of $16.2 Million.
Disney's latest animated movie is struggling on the box office and this week falls to number 3 with $4.9 Million, a large 74% drop over last weekend.
The movie has taken just $25 Million on its 2 week run at the box office, Encanto released the same time of year in 2021 had taken $57.9 Million 2 weeks into its run.
Jumping back up the chart to number 4 this week is the Ralph Fiennes starring fine dining movie which takes $3.5 Million, a modest 35% drop over last weekend.
This gives the movie a total North American box office total of $24.7 Million after 3 weeks of release.
Finally on this weeks to 5 is the J.D. Dillard directed flying movie which drops to number 5 with $2.7 Million, a 69% drop over last week.
The movie has taken $13.8 Million after 2 weeks of release.
Disney take the top two spots at the US box office this weekend although with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever staying at the top it means the new animated tale Strange World limps into second place.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery makes an impressive debut at 3 on limited release while Devotion is new at 4.
Remaining at the top for a third weekend is the Marvel movie sequel to Black Panther which takes $45.9 Million over the post Thanksgiving weekend, a small drop of 32% over last weekend.
The movie is tracking behind the original but this weekend pushes its total gross to $367 Million, quite a way behind the $500 Million of Black Panther three weeks into its run.
The movie will hence most likely finish below that of the original which took over $700 Million at the North American box office.
Highest new movie this weekend
The new Disney animated movie falls below expectation at the US box office during a time of big change at Disney with the old CEO Bob Chapeck being replaced by former CEO Bob Iger!
The movie lands on the North American box office at number 2 with a Thanksgiving post weekend gross of $18.6 Million.
In comparison the previous Disney animated movie (not Pixar) was Encanto from the same time last year and that grossed over $27 Million on its debut, and box office takings were still low due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Netflix release their much anticipated sequel movie in limited cinemas for a limited run and the movie lands very nicely at number 3 on the box office this weekend.
The movie takes $13.2 Million on its debut weekend, comparing to the original Knives Out is not a fair comparison as that movie got a full theatrical release but released in 2019 it took $26.7 Million on its debut, and with this getting good reviews you can imagine what it would have achieved with a full theatrical release!
A poor set of reviews given to this, dare I say poor mans Top Gun Maverick as it lands at number 4 on the box office this weekend.
The movie takes $9 Million on its debut with a swift drop down the box office bound to follow!
Falling to number 5 this weekend after its debut at 2 is the Ralph Finnes and Anya Taylor-Joy starring movie which takes $5.2 Million this weekend, a 42$ drop.
This gives the movie a total North American gross of $18.6 Million after 2 weeks of release.
