Yuletide Derby

Now with low-cal Add On.

Late to the blog with this, but for some reason was away from the computer. The Nikkster tells us:

1. Little Fockers (Universal) NEW [3,536 Theaters] -- Wednesday $7.2M, Thursday $7.1M, Cume $14.3M

2. Tron 3D (Disney) Week 1 [3,451 Theaters] -- Wednesday $5.6M, Thursday $6.1M, Cume $68.1M

3. True Grit (Paramount) NEW [3,047 Theaters] -- Wednesday $5.5M, Thursday $5.6M, Cume $11.2M

10. Harry Potter/Deathly Hallows Pt 1 (Warner Bros) Week 5 [1,840 Theaters] -- Wednesday $900K, Thursday $1M, Cume $269.8M

It seems as though the Fockers are running out of petrol. And high time.

Yogi is not robust on a per-screen average, but Tangled is holding up, and looks as though it will pass Megamind in domestic gross over the next several days.

Add On: The Reporter summarizes the weekend:

Universal's Little Fockers may have topped the Christmas box office with an estimated $48.3 million five-day debut, but it was Paramount's True Grit that saw the grittiest grosses, earning an estimated $36.8 million to come in No. 2. ... Opening on Christmas Day was 20th Century Fox's Gulliver's Travels, which placed only No. 7 for the weekend, grossing an estimated $7.2 million from 2,546 theaters ...

Grit Bridges beat Tron Bridges. Let's hear it for the 19th century!
