The Hunger Games: Catching Fire continued to light up the box office through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, collecting a record $110.2 million over five days to surpass a hefty opening for Disney’s new animated film Frozen, and bringing its 10-day total to nearly $300 million.

Moviegoers flooded theatres in record-setting numbers, dropping $294 million at box offices, besting the $290 million spent a year ago over the five-day period.

Catching Fire and Frozen both beat the Thanksgiving box-office record of $82.4 million set by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in 2001.

Frozen, which critics lavishly praised, recorded ticket sales of $93 million at US and Canadian theatres for the five-day holiday period that began on Wednesday, according to studio estimates compiled by Reuters. That far exceeded industry projections of about $63 million.

Frozen, inspired by The Snow Queen fairy tale, features the voice of Kristen Bell as a Scandinavian princess intent on finding her sister, the Queen, who has the power to freeze anything with a touch and accidentally sets off a long winter that is destroying their kingdom.

“This was much more than we ever could have thought,” said Dave Hollis, executive vice president of distribution for Walt Disney Studios, of Frozen’s strong opening, adding it was the biggest-ever opening for one of its animated releases.

Disney’s action film Thor: The Dark World, based on the character from its Marvel comic book unit, was third with $15.5 million in ticket sales.

Catching Fire set a November opening weekend record of $158.1 million, then smashed the Thanksgiving five-day mark in its second week. It already ranks third on this year’s list of top-grossing films, behind Iron Man 3 and Despicable Me 2.

Rounding out the top five were The Best Man Holiday, starring Taye Diggs and Terrence Howard, with $11.1 million, and Homefront, which collected $9.8 million in its debut weekend.
