With an estimated $21.6 million Hunger games: Mockingjay Part 1 hanged on to the first place for the third frame. the film dropped 62 percent which is actually better than what catching fire did on the same weekend last year. Still Mockingjay has earned $ 257.7 million which trails both of its predecessors, going forward Mockingjay will hope to follow Catching Fire's pattern and its remain to be seen if it can hold up well enough to dethrone Guardians of the galaxy in order to become the top movie of the year.

Dropping 56 percent Penguins of Madagascar remained on second place with an $11.1 million, family films typically fell hard on the weekend after thanksgiving. through 12 days of release the Madagascar spin off earned a very modest $49.59 million. since there is no new direct competition until January Penguins will probably held well through the holiday period.

Surprisingly last weekend's other new release Horrible Bosses 2 had the best hold among the wide releases, the sequel fell just 44 percent to earn $8.6 million and jumped two spot from it's poor fifth place opening of last weekend. though that hold doesn't mean much since it's running a disappointing 45 percent behind the $ 65.67 million twelve-day take of 2011's Horrible Bosses.

Disney's Big Hero 6 placed in fourth with an estimated $8.13 million. with $177.55 million so far its in a very good position and will ultimately earn over $200 million.

Interstellar wasn't far behind. the Christopher Nolan directed sci-fi space drama eased 49 percent to earn $8 million with an overall gross of $158 million.
