Still stuffed from all the movies Hollywood was offering over Thanksgiving?  Not to worry.  This weekend will give you a chance to digest some of those titles that got leftover from last weekend’s feast.  As usual, the Friday after the holiday saw no new wide releases; which means that (also as usual) this should prove to be one of the lowest grossing weekends of the year.  The good news for Twilight fans is that the lack of competition will allow Breaking Dawn Part 1 to claim a third weekend at number one: a feat that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 could not match one year ago.  The only notable news coming from the multiplex is the increased theatre counts for both Hugo and The Descendants.  We’ll have details (insignificant though they may be) tomorrow.

Title Friday Total
1 Breaking Dawn Part 1 $5,500,000 $235.9
2 The Muppets $2,700,000 $48
3 Hugo $2,000,000 $19.5
4 Arthur Christmas $1,700,000 $19.6
5 Jack & Jill $1,600,000 $60.4

    Omg. Omg. Omg. Breaking Dawn – Part 1 is going to be the biggest movie of the holiday season! I could, like, die. But I can’t cause I have to see Part 2! It’s going to be EPIC!!!!! I can’t waittttttt! :)

    We can make fun of it all we want (I myself am not the demographic for it), but it’s already grossed a half billion dollars worldwide. Could it bring it a billion before it leaves theaters?

      I don’t believe it will. Despite appealing to a different demographic, there are a lot of new films coming out this month.

      Looking at Box Office Mojo, this one is still trailing ‘New Moon’ and that one only made it just past 700 mil.
