US Box Office
Big bucks for holiday laffer Elf, taking the nr. 1 spot with $27.2 million in its second week. Barely dropping a beat, it’s this months winner for sure. Second one storming in Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, an Oscar contender for sure, sailing away with $25.7 million. Taking a plunge faster than Neo could ever fly is The Matrix Revolutions at the third place with a measly $16.3. The Architect might not be happy, I imagine.
Fourth is Disney’s Brother Bear with $12 million. Fifth was for the premiere of Looney Tunes: Back in Action. Not so much action, as it only took in $9.5 million.
Expanding to wide release helps Love Actually to take the sixth place with $8.9 million.
