This weekend had very little real chances of conquering Avatar's opening weekend last year, and I'm still sure that this Christmas weekend will garner far fewer earnings than last year. Nevertheless, this weekend was a pretty successful one, because it managed to spread the wealth around to several different feature. TRON: Legacy came out on top, but didn't fare as spectacularly as anticipated. If it were a better film, I'd be a little less hesitant to say that it could make most of it's profits from repeat business. As it is, I'm surely not going to pay for a ticket to see the film again, but consider a pretty great experience.Yogi Bear came in second, because people apparently bought tickets for the film, then went into see The Fighter or Black Swan. Talking of which, The Fighter managed a pretty good total this weekend on 2200 screens. Black Swan came in seventh, edging out the opening weekend of How Do You Know. Dawn Treader and The Tourist took less than 50% drops each. Ultimately, this weekend managed to be only a small fraction below the box office of the same weekend last year.
