Weekend Box-Office Report: THE WOLF OF WALL STREET, 47 RONIN, GRUDGE MATCH, THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY

box-office-desolation-of-smaug-frozen-face-off

The holiday season offered a considerable boost to both new and old releaseas at the box-office, but the most interesting race was the one for the top spot between "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" and Disney's surprise hit "Frozen". Eventually, Peter Jackson's second installment in the prequel trilogy managed to land in first place with $29.9 million, with "Frozen" close behind at $28.8 million. The animated feature registered a 47% increase from last weekend, while Jackson's Tolkien adaptation managed to hold steady with only a 5% decrease. Other movies that benefited from the holiday boost were "American Hustle", "Saving Mr. Banks" (up by 50%) and "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire".

Other movies were not as fortunte, like Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street" which managed to enter the top 10 at #5 with a modest $18 million in its wide debut, and Ben Stiller's "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" similarly fell behind at #7 with $13 million.

Even less fortunate was the Keanu Reeves starrer "47 Ronin" which only earned $9.8 million during the weekend and $20 million in the 5 days since Christmas, which is especially bad considering the film cost $200 million to make. Another holiday flop was the Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone team-up "Grudge Match" which fell outside the top 10 in its opening weekend and earned $7.3 million and $13 million since Christmas, versus a budget of $40 million.

More box-office details and the complete top 10, after the jump.
