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

4. Yogi Bear 3D (Warner Bros) Week 1 [3,515 Theaters] -- Wednesday $2.9M, Thursday $3.2M, Cume $27.9M

5. Narnia 3D/Dawn Treader (Walden/Fox) Week 2 [3,532 Theaters] -- Wednesday $2.5M, Thursday $2.9M, Cume $53.1M

6. Tangled 3D (Disney) Week 4 [2,582 Theaters] -- Wednesday $2.2M, Thursday $2.6M, Cume $137.2M

7. Black Swan (Fox Searchlight) Week 3 [1,456 Theaters] -- Wednesday $1.7M, Thursday $1.7M, Cume $22.4M

8. The Fighter (Relativity/Paramount) Week 2 [2,503 Theaters] -- Wednesday $1.3M, Thursday $1.5M, Cume $19M

9. The Tourist (GK Films/Sony) Week 2 [2,756 Theaters] -- Wednesday $1M, Thursday $1.1M, Cume $35.4M

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!

Anyone think Disney is happy with Tron, Legacy?

They're shittin' bricks. It's been bumped down to #3 by the Focker's and True Grit today, with little hope of it climbing back up.

Jeff Bridges climbs over Jeff Bridges.

Tangled has surpassed Megamind both domestically and internationally.

Hoping disney execs will rule it a company success. Their voice is the only one that makes the decision as it relates to jobs. And that probably wont be until the international run is done and the tally is in.
