Box Office Pro's long-range forecast has the film at $35 million to $45 million over the three-day weekend, and $50 million to $70 million over the five-day holiday frame.

Box Office Pro says current tracking has Hexed opening higher than Encanto, Strange World and Wish, the last three original Disney animated films to debut over Thanksgiving weekend.

One outlet reported a $75 million opening weekend figure, which does not match the three-day range, so it may be a five-day number. Awareness also appears lower than for recent Disney Animation films, which makes the forecast harder to pin down.
