The weekend after Thanksgiving was traditionally a box office breather, with theaters content to feast on all thoseThanksgiving holdovers on the first weekend in December.

“Zootopia 2” and “Wicked 2” are doing well, thanks. And that might have been it for a three-day period where awards contenders would typically add limited release screens and some studios would dump pictures that had limited prospects but deserved a holiday release.

But no more. “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” blew up Thursday night and Friday, with cineplexes packing in so many showings I couldn’t get to see an awards contender or two as my closest AMC changed its showtimes between the moment I got in the car and the minute I arrived at their box office. And they didn’t even show some of the titles they had listed at their listed times. Not the biggest AMC fan, over the years.

A $29 million+ Thursday afternoon and evening and all-day Friday and big Saturday steered “Freddy’s” sequel to a $63 million weekend, per The Numbers. That handily puts it in the top spot, as Disney’s animated blockbuster “Zootopia 2” is cruising to another $43 million. That’s just 57% down from last weekend’s $100 million. It clearned the $220 million mark by midnight Sunday.

The big take for the “Freddy’s” sequel flew in the face of word of mouth, which should have lowered the turnout once the “Freddy’s” crowd figured out how awful it is.

A year peppered with pretty good to excellent horror, and this is what the dears are showing up for? Whatever. But the box office take of those Big Two is turning into a record for the traditionally slow weekend after Thanksgiving.

The dull and downbeat second half of “Wicked,” “Wicked for Good” is tallying just under $17 million for the weekend.

A new Gkids anime “kids” film with “Execution” in the title — “Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution” cleared $10.1.

“Now You See Me Now You Don’t” is inexplicably still in the top five, conjuring up $3.65million. It will finish its run shy of $65, as it sits at $55 now.

And the re-release of the two halves of Tarantino’s“Kill Bill” epic (“The Whole Blood Affair”) should settle into the top ten (sixth place) with $3.25 million earned on 1200 screens.

The afterlife romance“Eternity” does better on weekdays than it does weekends, but is adding another $2.726 million worth of tickets sold to Elizabeth Olsen/Miles Teller fans

The awards contender “Hamnet” may be a period piece without Big Names in the cast (Jessie Buckley may be a big name by the time Oscar nominations are announced). But it’s opening wide this weekend and cracks the top ten at eight, where it sat all week thanks to great reviews and good word of mouth. It’s on track to clear $2.3 million.

The “Running Man” reboot hangs on the edge ($1.115) the top ten and “Predator: Badlands” has weekend legs ($1.8) that keep it in ninth.

An Indian wide release “Dhurandar,” “Rental Family,” “Fackham Hall” and “Sentimental Value” all fell outside the top ten.

The “Sisu” sequel, “Nuremburg,” “Regretting You” and “Sarah’s Oil” also exited the top ten
