After two weekends atop the box office, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" was iced out by "Frozen."

The 3-D animated winter musical had a massive opening over the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend, but was still unable to eke out a win over the latest entry in the popular young-adult franchise. During its second weekend in release, however, the tables turned as Walt Disney Studios said its family film collected $31.6 million to bring its domestic total to $134.3 million. The Katniss Everdeen tale grossed an additional $27 million, raising its tally to $336.7 million after 17 days in theaters.

Over Turkey Day, "Frozen" was quickly embraced by moviegoers, who assigned the film a perfect average grade of A+, according to market research firm CinemaScore. That positive audience word-of-mouth — combined with strong reviews from critics — is clearly paying off.

The animated musical, featuring the voices of Kristen Bell and Josh Gad, follows a young girl attempting to find her lost sister in their icy kingdom. The picture is on pace to exceed the $189.4 million that "Wreck-It Ralph," Walt Disney Animation's last release, made in the U.S. and Canada last year — and has a good shot of surpassing the $200.8-million gross of the studio's 2010 musical "Tangled" too.
