Los Angeles, California – Beyoncé's new concert film Renaissance topped the North American box office in its opening weekend with an estimated take of $21 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday.

That result came in what normally is a very slow period for movies following the Thanksgiving holiday.

"This is an excellent domestic opening for a concert film," said analyst David A. Gross, boosted by "sensational critics reviews and audience scores."

A virtuoso effort written, directed, and produced by the iconic singer, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé now ranks among the top five all-time concert movie openings, Gross said, led by the huge $92.8 million opening earlier this year of Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour film.

Both movies are distributed by AMC Theaters.

Queen Bey's release was fueled by star-studded Los Angeles and London premiers, which were attended by Swift, Blake Lively, and Lizzo, among others.

Beyoncé also dropped a new single on Friday, coinciding with the film's debut.

In second place at the box office over the weekend was Lionsgate's The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, at $14.5 million. Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, and Peter Dinklage star in the prequel about a lethal competition in the dystopian state of Panem.

In third was Godzilla Minus One, a new release from Toho International, at $11 million. Unlike many earlier Hollywoodian takes on the huge sea monster, "this Toho production is Japanese in every way — in language, cast, setting and all facets," said Gross, adding, "Critics and audiences love it." Ryunosuke Kamiki and Minami Hamabe star in the movie, which sold $23 million in tickets in Japan over the past month.

In the fourth spot for the second straight weekend went to Universal's animated musical comedy Trolls Band Together, at $7.6 million. Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake lead the voice cast.

And in fifth was Disney's lavishly animated film Wish" at $7.4 million. Featuring the voices of Oscar-winner Ariana DeBose and Chris Pine, Wish tells the story of King Magnifico, who grants one wish a month.

Rounding out the weekend's top 10 movies were:

Napoleon ($7.1 million)

Animal ($6.1 million)

Silent Night ($3 million)

Thanksgiving ($2.6 million)

The Marvels ($2.5 million)

Beyoncé has continued to rule the crop with the behind-the-scenes concert experience.
