Weekend Report, December 3, 2012
If the list below looks awfully similar to last week's Top 5 that's because, save for lower numbers from a non-holiday weekend, it is exactly the same. What does this mean? Well, it means that the Brad Pitt vehicle Killing Them Softly didn't do so hot at $7M. It also means that Breaking Dawn Part 2 and Skyfall are bona fide monsters, and Lincoln and Life of Pi are no pushovers.
Rise of the Guardians, while sticking around, is still underperforming—it already had the odds stacked against it with people thinking it was a sequel to Legend of the Guardians (it's not), and then this past week writer/director James Gunn was vilified for off-putting comments surrounding Guardians of the Galaxy, which is still in development. So, whatever issues the film may have, this is a tough time to be a "guardian."
