Box office history is in the making as Disney Animation’s Ralph Breaks the Internet and Universal-Illumination’s The Grinch are being projected to win the top two slots in U.S. theaters this weekend. It was the first time that two animated films had been at the top of the heap since June 2012, when Disney-Pixar’s Brave took the top spot at the box office, and Dreamworks Madagascar 3 took second place.
If Ralph and Grinch are able to repeat the feat for a second straight weekend, it will mark the first time in American box office history that animated films have held the top two spots at the box office for multiple weekends in a row.
