New Moon did 70% less this week but still managed to hold onto first place. Just as interesting is that The Blind Side had an 18% increase from last week while only appearing in 30 more theaters. Old Dogs just didn't have the energy and landed back in fourth with Ninja Assassin taking sixth. Here's the top five:

1. The Twilight Saga: New Moon $42.8 million
2. The Blind Side: $40.1 million
3. 2012: $17.6 million
4. Old Dogs: $16.9 million
5. A Christmas Carol: $15.7 million

Four new releases this week:

Armored
What's It All About: A group of underpaid armored car drivers join forces to swipe a big pile of loot, though of course nothing goes as smoothly as planned. Matt Dillon and Laurence Fishburne star.
Why It Might Do Well: The success of Ocean's 11 and its sequels would seem to indicate there's a market for heist movies.
Why It Might Not Do Well: Unfortunately this movie lacks the flash and star power of the Ocean's series.
Number of Theaters: 1,900
Prediction: $18 million

Brothers
What's It All About:
In this remake of a 2004 Danish film Tobey Maguire plays a soldier believed to have been killed in Afghanistan while his brother helps care for his sibling's family back home.
Why It Might Do Well: With Natalie Portman playing Maguire's wife we've got three amazing leads here.
Why It Might Not Do Well: 56% at Rottentomatoes.com isn't a deal breaker but it doesn't fill me with confidence.
Number of Theaters: 2,000
Prediction: $16 million

Everybody's Fine
What's It All About: A widower played by Robert DeNiro tries to reconnect with his grown children in the wake of his wife's death.
Why It Might Do Well: Tailor-made for Christmas time, movie-goers looking for a few sentimental laughs might find some warmth here.
Why It Might Not Do Well: DeNiro doesn't pick scripts as well as he used to.
Number of Theaters: 2,200
Prediction: $26 million

Transylmania
What's It All About: A group of college kids hope to party hardy during their semester in Europe but run into bloodthirsty vampires.
Why It Might Do Well: Well, a vampire film has led the box office for the last two weeks.
Why It Might Not Do Well: I'm sorry, I stopped paying attention after "A group of college kids hope to party hardy..."
Number of Theaters: NA
Prediction: $8 million



So what do you think? Another week of Edward and Bella in first place? Perhaps. Here's my prediction.
1. The Twilight Saga: New Moon
2. Everybody's Fine
3. The Blind Side
4. Armored
5. Brothers


It was a small turnout last week for predictions. I'll try not to take it personally and assume the Thanksgiving holiday had something to do with it. No perfect scores but English Gavz led the pack with a 9. Here's how we all did:
1. English Gavz: 9
2. lostinafog: 8
2. Sebastian: 8
3. Matt: 7
3. Alex Focker: 7
3. Consequence: 7
3. WJDR: 7
