This year's Thanksgiving box office was both feast and famine for Walt Disney.

"Glass Onion." The streamer declined to share box office receipts for the latest Rian Johnson film, although it is believed to have tallied between $13 million and $15 million during the five-day stretch.

To start, he reorganized the company to funnel creative decisions through a single executive, rather than with each studio, taking power away from the people who were responsible for Disney's biggest blockbusters. This happened when Disney released "Lightyear" in cinemas in June. While the two previous Toy Story franchise films each opened to more than $100 million domestically, "Lightyear" snared just $50 million in ticket sales during its debut.

The Thanksgiving box office crown has long been held by Disney and its animated features, with films like "Frozen II," "Coco," "Moana," and "Ralph Breaks the Internet" leading the pack in the last decade.
