Although this weekend was considerably slower at the box-office, the battle was still fierce between "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" and Disney's animated feature "Frozen". The former lost first place this weekend and dropped down to No.2, while the latter climbed from second place to No.1. It was a spectacular switch by a difference of almost $5 million. The disappointing debut of the week was that of director Scott Cooper's new drama "Out of the Furnace", which despite some incredible starpower (Christian Bale, Woody Harrelson, Zoe Saldana, Casey Affleck, Forest Whitaker, Willem Dafoe) only managed to open third with $5 million. Although not an expensive movie ($22 million budget), it's still a weak opening that qualifies the film as a major flop.
More box-office details and the complete top 10, after the jump.
