In its second weekend, Disney’s Frozen earned another $31.6 million, which was enough for it to overtake The Hunger Games: Catching Fire ($27 million) for the #1 spot at the weekend box office and prevent Catching Fire from pulling off the rare three-peat.

The post-Thanksgiving weekend frame is typically a weak one as it provides a bit of a lull before the impending onslaught of major Christmas-time releases (beginning with The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug next weekend), and this year was no exception. Overall, this was the fifth slowest weekend of the year, with theaters grossing a total of just $97 million. For reference, theaters pulled in over $208 million last weekend.

The weekend’s lone new wide release was the Christian Bale vehicle Out of the Furnace, which could only muster $5.3 million and a third place finish. That number falls in line with similarly dark, yet star-studded, dramas that have debuted in the same frame in recent years like 2012’s Killing Them Softly ($6.8 million) and Brothers, which debuted to the tune of $9.5 million in 2009.
