Big Hero 6 wins the fight and takes $56.2 million over the weekend, nowhere near Disney's last animated feature Frozen but still a very good debut and the film has had good generally reviews which should keep it going for a few weeks.
Making its debut in second place is Batman Begins director Christopher Nolan'a new film Interstellar which takes $50 million from its debut weekend of release.
Going down to fourth this week is Ouija, with the hangover from the Halloween weekend keeping it going a little longer but it will probably sink next week with the spooky season well out the way.
