Disney has already secured its best year on record at the global box office, which now tops $6bn (£4.7bn).

It has set a domestic box office annual record of $2.3bn (£1.8bn), beating last year's high of $2.27bn (£1.81bn).

In second position, Fox and Dreamworks' Trolls took an estimated $35m (£27.9m), only dropping by 24.8% in its second week.

Arrival, a sci-fi drama starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner, debuted in third place on $24m (£19.1m).

The top five was rounded out by Almost Christmas with $15.6m (£12.4m) and Hacksaw Ridge on $10.8m (£8.6m).

Next week's box office figures will reveal how the highly anticipated Harry Potter prequel, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them has performed on its opening weekend.
