Pixar's Coco works its magic for third straight week, stays at top of box office in North America

Firstpost  

The Disney-Pixar animated comedy Coco showed serious staying power this weekend in North American theaters, holding top spot for its third week running while taking in an estimated $18.3 million, industry website Exhibitor Relations reported. Coco has taken in $135.5 million since its release over the long Thanksgiving weekend, and is already the top-grossing film ever in Mexico. But that is expected to change with the much-anticipated release next week of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, predicted to net up to a mammoth $200 million in its opening weekend. Second on North American screens this weekend was Warner Bros.’s Justice League, taking in $9.6 million, for a four-week total of $212 million.
