It was a close battle at the box-office this past weekend between last week's release "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" and "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues". Peter Jackson's second installment in The Hobbit trilogy managed to stay on top with $31 million during the weekend, while the Anchorman sequel only managed to gross $26 million in the same 3-day timeframe, a bit behind of the first "Anchorman", which grossed $28 million in its opening weekend. However, the sequel already grossed $40 million in five days, while the first film had a total gross of $85 million in its entire theatrical run, so there's still hope.
"The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" is still trailing behind the first film, "An Unexpected Journey", which had a total domestic gross of $303 million and a worldwide total of $1 billion. So far, "The Desolation of Smaug" has earned only $127 domestically and $403 worldwide, so it still has a long way to go and will probably not match the first installment's success, despite being regarded as a superior film according to reviews.
More box-office details and the complete top 10, after the jump.
