The “Hunger Games” prequel stayed atop the North American box office over the long US Thanksgiving weekend, fending off an invasion by new Ridley Scott film “Napoleon,” industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday.
Lionsgate’s “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” took in an estimated $42 million from Wednesday through Sunday — boosted by Thanksgiving holiday moviegoers — and $28.8 million for the usual Friday-through-Sunday period.
