Jordan and Sylvester Stallone \u2014  are off to a strong start at the Wednesday box office, although The Hunger Games: Mockingjay \u2013 Part 2 should have no trouble staying No. 1 for the five-day holiday stretch.<\/p>\n<p>Early returns show Mockingjay 2 grossing $13 million-plus on Wednesday for a five day gross of $73 million to $75 million.<\/p>\n<p>The Good Dinosaur is on course to earn $9 million-plus on Wednesday for a $60 million-plus five-day debut.<\/p>\n<p>Costing between $175 million-$200 million to produce, Good Dinosaur marks the first time Pixar has ever released two films in the same year. In June, Inside Out opened to a rousing $90.4 million after earning $3.7 million in Thursday-night previews.<\/p>\n<p>Disney has made it a habit of launching animated fare over the Thanksgiving holiday. In 2013, Disney Animation Studios&#8217; Frozen debuted to $93.6 million, the biggest five-day Thanksgiving opening of all time. One exception was last year, when DreamWorks Animation claimed the holiday with Penguins of Madagascar, which opened to a disappointing $35.4 million for the five days.<\/p>\n<p>Creed is overperforming thanks to stellar reviews for a projected $7.5 million Wednesday and five-day debut as high as $40 million. Wednesday&#8217;s haul includes $1.4 million earned Tuesday night, the best showing ever for late-night, pre-Thanksgiving previews. Good Dinosaur followed with $1.3 million Tuesday night.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_59811\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PjbVcc9IB0M?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_20171\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cEK65SWWVYs?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Thanksgiving feast is beginning early at the box office.
