It seems if you have some comical animals and a crew of artists who know their way around long-form animation, you can open your own Fort Knox. Frozen is still at #4 after ten weeks (shades of Titanic's performance a decade and a half ago.)

The Disney picture had a tiny decline; Nut Job's falloff was larger, but still not too bad compared to the competition.
