In the United States, Thanksgiving weekend is known as one of the biggest shopping weekends in the country. But did you also know it’s one of the biggest weekends to watch football, eat leftovers, travel, and see movies?

Thanksgiving weekend (and the weekend before it) typically marks the start of the holiday blockbuster sweeps: Movie studios scramble to squeeze in as many big-ticket movies into the last remaining weekends of the year when they know kids are off from school, parents are overwhelmed with holiday guests, and people are looking for something to do that doesn’t require braving the throngs of people at the mall.

If you plan on visiting the movie theater this weekend, what do you plan on seeing?

Are you going to take in the latest “Twilight” flick, or are you going to see how George Clooney does as an animated character in “Fantastic Mr. Fox”? Or maybe you’re looking for something a bit more serious and will end up watching “Precious” or “The Men Who Stare at Goats.” Whatever you see, enjoy the popcorn, and be sure to check out Yahoo’s Holiday Movie Guide and come back to share your reviews!
