Thanksgiving Box Office: The Blind Leading, Fantastic Not So Much
It was an interesting Thanksgiving frame at the box office -- and one that foretold a couple of benchmarks about to fall. The Blind Side managed to work its way up the number-one spot, and its impressive hold and family-friendly potential mean that Sandra Bullock might hit another career best just months after achieving it with The Proposal. Don't cry for number-two contender New Moon, though -- today, it should pass the entire $192.7 million domestic gross of the first Twilight. Instead, save your tears for The Fantastic Mr Fox, which expanded into over 2,000 theaters without much fanfare. The full results, after the jump:
THE BLIND SIDE: $9,485,000 ($60,125,000)
THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON: $9,200,000 ($188,174,000)
NINJA ASSASSIN: $4,555,000 ($7,875,000)
OLD DOGS: $4,200,000 ($7,350,000)
2012: $4,050,000 ($120,896,000)
A CHRISTMAS CAROL: $3,770,000 ($89,360,000)
PLANET 51: $1,595,000 ($18,307,000)
THE FANTASTIC MR. FOX: $1,360,000 ($3,093,000)
PRECIOUS: BASED ON THE NOVEL "PUSH" BY SAPPHIRE: $1,290,000 ($25,361,000)
THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS: $370,000 ($29,019,000)

At least we live in a world where Old Dogs isn't taking in original Twilight numbers. Hell, it's not even taking in Wild Hogs numbers, and it's being beaten by a Ninja Assassin, which is what I was hoping would happen. Not that the film would beat old dogs, but that a ninja assassin would punish those responsible for Old Dogs.
I hate to think that Travolta's career is over, but it's over; ditto Robin Williams. They just do not appeal to audiences these days, plus the material isn't good.
BadAss! page I truly think you should have way more views BTW It would be awesome if you checked my site although is not as bad ass as this. (: http://oonlinecasinoo.wordpress.com/
