BOX OFFICE

(Warner Bros.)

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey won the weekend box office easily, and also became the biggest December debut in history.

The first installment of Peter Jackson’s new fantasy trilogy earned $84.8 million in its opening weekend, which breaks the $77 million December debuts for I Am Legend and Avatar in previous years.

Rise of the Guardians came in a very distant second with $7.4 million, while Lincoln finished in third with $7.2 million.

Fourth and fifth places went to Skyfall and Life of Pi, which had ticket sales of $7 million and $5.4 million, respectively.

Rounding out the Top 10 were The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 ($5.2 million), Wreck-It Ralph ($3.3 million), Playing for Keeps ($3.2 million), Red Dawn ($2.4 million) and Silver Linings Playbook ($2.1 million).

    I did not see anything this weekend and have not seen a movie in a year. I am totally sick or remakes, sequels, etc. and refuse to spend my money on them. As a senior living on SS and a small pension, I have to make wise decisions on how to spend my money.

    I will not see the Hobbit. 27 animals died during the making of this film–they were all preventable, with the exception of 1 who the studio claimed to have died from natural causes.
