This past holiday weekend,fairy tales and Christmas stories dominated!the number one movie was "Enchanted",with a total Wednesday to Sunday gross of 50 million-the last Disney opening over Thanksgiving with a larger take was Disney/Pixars "Toy Story 2" back in 1999,with totals of 80 million.
1 Enchanted -50 million-debut
2 This Christmas-18 million-debut
3 Beowulf-16 million-Week 2
4 Hitman-13 million-debut
5 Bee Movie-12 milion-Week 4(and by the way the total take in 4 weeks for this movie is 112 million!)
I was personally disappointed to see "The Mist" only did 9 million its opening week,for those of you who arent familiar with the story,it is one of Stephen Kings short stories and it is quite terrifying.Thomas Jane,who also starred in Stephen Kings "Dreamcatchers" is one of the lead characters,as is Andre Brauer,who appeared in "Homicide:Life on the Street" previously.
Ironically,its the only movie I would have seen had I went to the theaters this weekend.Some family members went Thanksgiving night but they went to see the long-running" 30 Days of Night" while its still playing,another I wish I had seen !We usually save expensive movie trips for stuff you HAVE to see on a big screen,like Spiderman,etc.Movies out for a family of three gets expensive but we do rent and buy alot of DVD's-and we all know the home video market is raking it in as fast as cinemas are.
