Howdy folks, welcome to another Monday, which means another start to the week. This past Thursday was Thanksgiving, which made this weekend well Thanksgiving weekend!
So what happened at the Box Office? Well let’s see now, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN PART 1 continued its domination and it pretty much swamped the competition. Even the eagerly awaited THE MUPPETS couldn’t squash Edward and Bella. Other new releases such as Martin Scorsese’s HUGO broke the Top 5, and Cronenberg’s A DANGEROUS METHOD made it to 27th place, not too shabby for its extremely limited release.
The film that we covered here on the site Tarsem Singh’s IMMORTALS is still in the Top 10, yet we can weep for humanities future over the fact that JACK AND JILL made more than it this weekend. This coming Friday sees the release of a number of limited release films, so don’t expect much of a change, BREAKING DAWN PART 1 will win it again I am sure.
