Box Office Results – December 14th-16th

DECEMBER 14 – 16, 2007
Rank Film Title Gross Weeks Cume
1 I AM LEGEND 76.53 1 76.5
2 ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS 45.00 1 45.0
3 THE GOLDEN COMPASS 9.03 2 41.0
4 ENCHANTED 6.00 4 92.3
5 NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN 3.00 6 33.6

As predicted, the Will Smith film, I Am Legend, made the Top 5.  Not only that but as you can see, debuted at #1.  I saw the film and will be adding my review of it today. 

Also as predicted, another widely-anticipated Christmas film released this weekend, Alvin and the Chipmunks, made it to the Top 5, debuting at #2. 

Although, the Golden Compass slipped to #3 and Enchanted to #4, I have to wonder how next weekend’s Box Office Results will fair.  Will Compass continue it’s slide?  Will Enchanted stay in the Top 5?  My prediction – yes and yes – but we’ll have to see.

In a surprising move, the critically acclaimed No County for Old Men, rose a notch to make it into the Top 5 for the first time since it’s release.  I’ll venture to guess that with its Golden Globe nomination for Best Motion Picture – Drama, it had to have helped it along a little.

Now…next weekend there should be some twists and turns as the anticipated blockbusters and Golden Globe nominated films - Charlie Wilson’s War, Sweeney Todd, and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story – are released.  In addition, the second film in the National Treasure series National Treasure: Book of Secrets is also scheduled to hit the theaters.  Like I said, it should be interesting.

Until next time, see YOU at the movies!
