Big Hero 6 enjoyed a strong second weekend at the box office. The film remained in the top spot for the first seven days, which included Veterans Day where children had the day off from school and many families went to the movies. However, the movie was not able to withstand the nostalgic power of the sequel Dumb and Dumber To, which reach the number one spot this weekend. Big Hero 6 dropped a respectable thirty-six percent to earn a total of $111.7 million. While the drop is lower than that of Wreck-It Ralph it is comparable to Megamind from 2010. The film also opened in Mexico, Malaysia, and Singapore, the latter two featured the biggest opening ever for any Disney or Pixar animated film. The weekend also featured a significant benchmark for Disney, as it was the second time in its history that the company earned over $4 billion at the box office.
