With no major new releases over the weekend, last week's box office winners held over for the most part.

The week after Thanksgiving is not traditionally a major one at the box office; yet the weekend saw Disney behemoth Ralph Breaks the Internet add almost $26 million to its haul, bringing its total to $119 million. Maybe we won't have to wait another six years for a third Ralph film.

Family audiences were clearly out in force: Universal/Illumination's The Grinch leap-frogged over both Creed II and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald — both of which came out after it — to claim the second spot in the weekend takings with $17.7 million. That pushes its total over $200 million, proving once and for all that Illumination and Dr. Seuss are a match made in money-making heaven.

Perhaps buoyed by Sylvester Stallone's social media post indicating it would be the last time he played his most iconic character, Rocky Balboa, audiences continued to embrace Creed II over the weekend to the tune of $16.8 million, bringing the film's total to $81 million after two weeks. That puts it on track to most likely better the original Creed's take of $109 million; all but ensuring a third Creed movie, for which I'm sure the powers that be will seek to lure Sly back to play Rocky for a ninth time.

The second Fantastic Beasts movie fell to fourth place in its third week in release, dropping a worrying 62% from its second-week takings. It's hard not to credit the fan discontent that continues to swirl around the film, which many are calling out for chronological inconsistencies and its lack of much to do for ostensible lead character Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne). You can almost picture the crisis meetings taking place at Warner Bros. over how the third film in this Harry Potter spin-off franchise (they announced there would be five in the series, remember) can avoid such a fate.

Fox's Bohemian Rhapsody earned $8 million in its fifth week in release, garnering fifth place. The film has proved itself both a domestic and global smash with its worldwide total already more than $500 million. You have to give Fox credit — I can't recall the last time a film with a troubled production did so well at the box office. Oh, hang on: Titanic. Bohemian Rhapsody isn't quite Titanic, but it has done incredibly well in light of having had to replace its director before filming finished.

The nondescript Mark Wahlberg comedy Instant Family came in at number six with a $7 million take, bringing its total to $46 million after three weeks. Respectable numbers for a film literally nobody is talking about.

The week's only new entrant, a small Sony/Screen Gems horror film called The Possession of Hannah Grace, earned $6.5 million in its opening frame. That number points to the film eventually going into profit, despite its generic title and low audience awareness. Sometimes a small horror film can do okay just by being an alternative to a surfeit of family fare.

Yorgos Lanthimos' The Favorite continues to gather steam and Oscar® buzz in limited release, garnering the weekend's best per-screen average after expanding to 34 screens from last week's four. Its $1.1 million gross put the Rachel Weisz/Olivia Colman/Emma Stone film in thirteenth place.

Also likely Oscar-bound is the Viggo Mortensen/Mahershala Ali drama Green Book, which earned almost $4 million across approximately 1,000 theaters, landing in tenth place on the box office list.

Expect to see both these films continue to gain traction as awards season gets closer.

Crazy Rich Asians, one of the biggest domestic hits of the year, has flopped out on its release in China. That will no doubt be disappointing for Warner Bros., especially considering only a limited number of Western films are approved for release in China. They can console themselves with $237 million the film earned elsewhere. 

Next weekend is probably going to be another quiet one, with the majority of new releases being specialty films aiming for Oscar glory: the addiction story starring Julia Roberts Ben Is Back, costume drama Mary Queen of Scots and the Natalie-Portman-as-pop-star flick Vox Lux.
