MOVIE MONEY

The Friday File: U.S. theaters just had their highest grossing Thanksgiving (five-day) weekend ever, accruing over $400 million, largely driven by “Moana 2,” “Wicked,” and “Gladiator II.” Over the holiday about 30 million people saw those movies. Moreover just 25 movies were released over the five days. The prior record was $315 million in 2018, but 64 movies were released then. Before that, the record was $290 million in 2012.
