BOX OFFICE
(Warner Bros.)
Audiences are still flocking to Middle-Earth.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is #1 at the box office for the second straight week, with early estimates putting the fantasy adaptation at $32 million.
That will be enough to beat two new releases — the Tom Cruise action flick Jack Reacher (projected to hit $18 million), and the Judd Apatow-directed comedy This Is 40 ($12 million).
The animated Rise of the Guardians should place fourth with about $7 million, ahead of Lincoln ($5.5 million) the Monsters Inc. 3D re-release ($5 million), and the Seth Rogen-Barbra Streisand road comedy The Guilt Trip ($4.5 million).
Life of Pi and Skyfall are both tracking toward $4 million weekends, and will battle for eighth place.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 should stay in the Top 10 with a $2.8 million haul.
Gossip Cop will have updates.
