julia boorstin joins us to find out how much the streaming giant may have chipped away at theater ticketman." i saw it, i liked it. >> did you watch it -- >> you saw it at homes, not in theaters >> i saw it in a theater. >> interesting >> yes. >> well, it's now available on streaming and the question is what kind of impact that may have had just to take a step back, joe, thanksgiving was a mixed bag for hollywood. the good news is that "frozen 2" grossed $124 million in america over the five-day weekend for a worldwide total of $740 million. that, of course, shows that disney plus is not eating into disney's box office power.

julia boorstin joins us from the el capitan theater the "star wars" movie marathon good morning, a very to these people who have been here overnight. they haven't even gone to sleep. they just got some "star wars" lucky charms for breakfast but this el capitan theater in hollywood is one of the 21 theaters around the country doing an overnight nine-movie "star wars" marathon the 500 tickets for this theater at $125 apiece sold out within minutes. now, the movie is the rise of sky walker is set to open in 21 theaters tonight and expected to gross about $200 million opening weekend. that would be below the last opening weekend of the last two "star wars" films, the second after avengers "end game." it will be another three years before disney puts another "star wars" film in theaters, but the media giant has a lot riding on the performance of this movie. first, it's hoping to drive more visitors to its billion-dollar "star wars" lands at its domestic park which got off to a slower than expected start second, it's hoping to increase the value of its investment in "star wars" for disney plu
