‘Ralph’ smashes the box office again

LOS ANGELES — The box office remained virtually unchanged from the Thanksgiving holiday weekend with sequels and remakes continuing to dominate the chart.

Disney’s “Ralph Breaks the Internet” maintained its hold on the top spot, adding $25.7 million in ticket sales — a 54 percent decline — for a cumulative $119.3 million, according to figures from Comscore. The film came in short of analysts’ projections of $33 million for its second weekend.

In second place, Universal’s “The Grinch,” now in its fourth weekend, added $17.7 million for a cumulative $203.5 million.

At No. 3, MGM’s “Creed II” added $16.8million in its second weekend. In fourth place, Warner Bros.’ “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” added $11.2 million in its third week.

Rounding out the top five, Fox’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” added $8.1 million in its fifth week.

New over the weekend, Sony’s “The Possession of Hannah Grace” landed at No. 7 with $6.5 million, on the higher end of analyst projections of $3 million to $7 million. The film, which stars “Pretty Little Liars” actress Shay Mitchell as a morgue worker who comes across a possessed corpse, was panned by both audiences and critics with a C-minus rating on CinemaScore and a 17 percent “rotten” rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Netflix premiered Andy Serkis’ “Mowgli,” a retelling of the classic Rudyard Kipling tale, in a small number of theaters a week before it begins streaming on the site. The film, originally produced by Warner Bros. before being sold to Netflix, earned a 50 percent “rotten” rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Netflix does not report box office grosses for its films.

In limited release, Fox Searchlight’s “The Favourite” added 30 locations in its second weekend (for a total of 34) and $1.1 million in ticket sales, a per-screen average of $32,500 and a cumulative $1.7 million.
