Little Fockers Stays #1 For New Year's Weekend - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

1. Little Fockers (Universal) Week 2 [3,554 Theaters]
Friday $8M, Saturday $10M, Est Weekend $24M (-22%), Est Cume $104M

Universal hasn't seen one of its pictures pass $100M since its only blockbuster Despicable Me last summer. What a lousy year for the studio.

2. True Grit (Paramount) Week 2 [3,083 Theaters]
Friday $8.2M, Saturday $9.3M, Est Weekend $23.5M (-5%), Est Cume $86M

Wow, an adult movie starts New Year's weekend as #1 Friday when that Little Fockers was supposed to be the big holiday pic with mass audience appeal. OK, so it didn't stay there after Saturday. But not only is this the Coen Brothers' highest grossing movie ever, but True Grit now easily will pass the domestic box office of their Best Picture Oscar winner No Country For Old Men which topped out at $74M. This will help the pic's awards chances and make it a shoo-in for Best Picture 10 inclusion since Academy voters don't like to look out of step with public taste.

3. Tron: Legacy 3D (Disney) Week 2 [3,365 Theaters]
Friday $5M, Saturday $7.8M, Est Weekend $18M (-6%), Est Cume $129M
4. Yogi Bear 3D (Warner Bros) Week 2 [3,515 Theaters]
Friday $4M, Saturday $4.4M, Est Weekend $12.1M (+55%), Est Cume $65M
5. Tangled 3D (Disney) Week 5 [2,582 Theaters]
Friday $3.3M, Saturday $3.5M, Est Weekend $9M, Est Cume $167M
6. Chronicles Of Narnia 3D (Fox) Week 3 [2,948 Theaters]
Friday $3.5M, Estimated Weekend $10.5M, Cume $87M
7. Gulliver's Travels 3D (Fox) Week 1 [3,089 Theaters]
Friday $2.9M, Estimated Weekend $10M, Estimated Cume $28M

This Fox pic has been hammered here in North America, bottoming out a year that the studio moguls would like to forget. But I noted last weekend that, since Jonathan Swift's classic book has great cultural meaning internationally, Fox is hoping the title translates to broad awareness and does well overseas. To that point, Gulliver's Travels earned $13.2M going into this weekend (including UK previews) bringing the first week overseas cume to $26M from only a handful of territories, with 11 of the top 15 markets yet to release. Now insiders are putting on their rose-colored glasses and predicting the movie could get to $175M aboard even though comedy doesn't travel too well too often. Then again, everybody can understand those Star Wars and Transformers gags.

8. The Fighter (Relativity/Paramount) Week 3 [2,534 Theaters]
Friday $2.6M, Estimated Weekend $8.5M, Cume $45M

9. The King's Speech (Weinstein Co) Week 3 [700 Theaters]
Friday $2.4M, Estimated Weekend $7.5M, Estimated Cume $22.7M

10. The Tourist (GK Films/Sony) Week 3 [2,756 Theaters]
Friday $1.9M, Estimated Weekend $6M, Cume $54M
