Four Christmases is still number one for the Weekly Box Office. As I look down the list, the standings pretty much stay the same. I am sure after this week when schools are on winter break the box office standings will change from week to week.

Lakeview Terrace remains at the top with Burn After Reading in the coveted second place. It’s good to see The Dark Knight at ninth place still drawing an audience after a blockbuster summer.

No surprises at the box office this week. We all knew Hellboy II would be at the top, but still Hancock is not too far behind in second place. Perhaps Hellboy is a little too mature for the younger audience.

Looks like Get Smart was the funny movie to see this week with more of a mature theme comedy compared to Kung Fu Panda. This weekend WALL-E will prove financially more successful for kids of all ages. I saw WALL-E last night and totally and completely loved the movie. Just when I thought it was going over the top, it smoothed out into a beautiful, loving film.
