The Artist and A Dangerous Method did well on 4 screens apiece.

Thanksgiving weekend is a time for disappointing openers to redeem themselves. Witness the low drop-off for most of the titles.

If Hugo had opened on 1800 screens, it would've been third. On just 1277, it was on-par in per-screen averages with The Muppets.
