‘A Christmas Carol’ Beats ‘This Is It’ Over Weekend
Disney’s A Christmas Carol was #1 in the box office over the weekend pulling in $31 million. Michael Jackson’s This Is It slid to #2 with $14 million. The new comedy with George Clooney The Men Who Stare at Goats made it into the #3 spot and The Fourth Kind got (oddly enough) the #4 slot. The new Cameron Diaz thriller The Box opened to a disappointing $7.8 million landing it at #6.
