“Zootopia 2" broke box office records with a massive Thanksgiving weekend opening. The Disney sequel earned $96 million in North America over the weekend and $156 million over the five-day Thanksgiving frame. Since its Wednesday opening, it has made $556 million globally, making it the highest international opening for an animated movie. “Wicked: For Good” also performed well, earning $62.8 million domestically over the weekend. The two sequels made Thanksgiving weekend a bright spot in an otherwise challenging year for theaters. “Zootopia 2" arrives nearly a decade after the original, featuring a bunny cop voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin and a scheming fox voiced by Jason Bateman.

A copy of the first Superman issue, unearthed by a trio of brothers cleaning out their late mother’s attic, netted $9.12 million at a Texas auction house which says it is the most expensive comic book ever sold. This month's sale surpassed the previous record of $6 million from another Superman-related comic sold last year. The 1939 Superman No. 1 was one of 500,000 first edition copies printed by Detective Comics Inc and is one of a small number of copies known to be in existence. Three brothers, who like the buyer remain unidentified, discovered the copy beneath old newspapers and cobwebs while cleaning out the attic in their deceased mother's house in San Francisco last year.
