'The Justice League' heros have fought their way to the top of the box office.... pulling in $96 million during the film's opening weekend, but falling well short of expectations. Warner Bros. says the film will likely get a boost in business going into the Thanksgiving holiday. And that's something this star-studded film will need to off-set its costs. Though Warner Bros. hasn't disclosed how much money went into its making, estimates put it at $300 million. There's a different kind of hero in the movie 'Wonder' ... where a fifth grader with facial deformities works to find comfort in a mainstream school. The film opened far above expectations, collecting $27 million in ticket sales -- and throwing back a simple message to movie-goers... SOT: "You can't blend in when you were born to stand out." Powering through to third place -- "Thor: Ragnarok" This action-packed sci-fi flick earned another $21.8 million at the box office this weekend, bringing its 17-day domestic total to $247.4.
