Weekend Box Office Report: Jan 4-6

For the third consecutive week Disney's National Treasure: Book of Secrets has been the top movie at the box office. It's well on its way to breaking the $200 million mark already broken by Will Smith's I Am Legend. The little independent film Juno has generated positive reviews and could become Fox Searchlight's biggest hit of all time.

Weekend Box Office Report: Dic 28 - Jan 1

The last weekend of the year ended with Nicolas Cage’s National Treasure sequel on top for the second time. Alvin and the Chipmunks and I Am Legend are still standing strong at 2nd and 3rd place. The sequel to Alien vs. Predator sort of tanked, opening at #6, but I doubt it had a huge budget, so it might still be a hit.
