Looks like Tom Cruise stays at top for a third week in the fourth installment for the Impossible franchise, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol(90%) over the Holiday weekend with an estimate of $37M over the weekend. The movie that costed $145M to make will soon reach making $200M in the US and $500M worldwide. It's currently ranked at $29.4M at the Box Office.
At second place is the other action sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (60%) starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, which made around $26.5M at the Box Office over the weekend. The Warner Bros. picture has now made $136.5M in 18 days. The first Sherlock made $166.4M at the Box Office in 2009, and it's sequel is now around 18% left to reaching that total. The film is currently ranked at $20.9M at the Box Office.

Following Sherlock Holmes 2 is the sequel Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked (10%.) The third installment in the franchise raised 8%, with an estimate of $21M, making it a total of $97M already. It's still 34% behind from the predecessor that opened in 2007. Alvin 3 is currently ranked $16.4M at the Box Office.
The critical-acclaimed, David Fincher directed, American remake The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (80%) lands at 4th place with a estimate gross of $19M at the Box Office over the weekend. The film has now grossed $60M at the Box Office. Dragon Tattoo is the #1 top grossing R-rated movie of 2011. Recently announced a sequel in 2013, the movie has a high chance of reaching $90M, possibly $100M at the US box office soon.
And at 5th place, the Steven Spielberg directed War Horse (100%)(which I think is the best film of December AND one of the best films of 2011.) The war movie grossed $19.4M over the week and has now made $45.2M since it debuted on Christmas Day, and looks to reach $75M around the end of January. War Horse is currently ranked at $14.4M at the Box Office.
OTHER RELEASES:
The Matt Damon dramedy We Bought a Zoo (70%) stands at 6th place with an estimate $16.5M to the sum of $45M within 11 days. Ranked at $13.2M.
The second Steven Spielberg directed movie The Adventures of Tintin(100%) which stands at 7th, made around $15M, making a total of $50.8M. Ranked at $11.4M.
The Warner Bros. all-star cast New Year's Eve (20%) raised $7.7M to the $47.4M already made. Currently in 8th place, there's a low chance of making more money due to the bad reviews, and the new year. Ranked at $6.3M.
The 3D alien invasion The Darkest Hour (20%) lies at 9th, with $5.3M made over the week. That sums up to $14.2M.
The likely Oscar-nominated film The Descendants (90%)(which came out in limited release by the way) is at last place, with $5.3M made at the box office. A total of $40.3M already made, the George Clooney film might survive January with Golden Globe wins and Academy Awards nominations. Ranked at $3.4M.
Yes, that is the box office for this week. Maybe with The Devil Inside opening this week well see new numbers, or not.
