Christmas Clash: “Sherlock Holmes” and “Avatar” Battle at Box Office

(Warner Bros.)
While Gossip Cop‘s visitors made it (overwhelmingly) clear that their Christmas love is for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” it looks like a wild box office weekend is going to come down to the wire between two blockbusters — one that looks to a Victorian past, and one that imagines an interplanetary future.
Early estimates have “Sherlock Holmes” and “Avatar” locked in a tight battle for 2009′s final weekend, with each film (currently) on track for about $70 million.
As of now, and it could change, “Sherlock Holmes” is edging out “Avatar.” According to Friday’s take, “Sherlock” made $24.9 million to $23.5 million for “Avatar.” It’ll be interesting to see who wins the Robert Downey, Jr. vs. James Cameron weekend clash.
