Box Office Update: Not With A Fizzle, But With A Bang

Just a reminder, our countdown of the top ten films of 2010 is still going on until 8 p.m. tonight, so don't you forget about it. Alright, now let's face the facts. This year was a pretty big year at the box office, but still an overall disappointment. It seems like a bit of paradox, but with the drastic boost in ticket prices, I can't say it's surprising. On top of that, there wasn't really too much incentive to go out to the theaters this year, with more than our deserved helping of disappointment. However, I say confidently that this year went out much better than I expected it to. Little Fockers took the largest drop of the weekend. True Grit almost took the top spot. Six out of the ten biggest films at the box office were genuinely enjoyable experiences. Consider me contented, and I hope this next year provides an improvement.

1. Little Fockers (Second Weekend; $26.3 million)
2. True Grit (Second Weekend; $24.5 million)
3. TRON Legacy (Third Weekend; $18. 3 million)
4. Yogi Bear (Third Weekend; $13 million)
5. The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader (Fourth Weekend; $10.5 million)
6. Tangled (Sixth Weekend; $10 million)
7. The Fighter (Fourth Weekend; $10 million)
8. Gulliver's Travels (Second Weekend; $9.1 million)
9. Black Swan (Fifth Weekend; $8.5 million)
10. The King's Speech (Fifth Weekend; $7.6 million)
