‘2012′ Wins Weekend over ‘Christmas Carol’
People would rather see the world falling apart than see a christmas movie, that was proven this past weekend (Nov 13 - 15) by the opening of Roland Emmerich’s 2012 which was at #1. A Christmas Carol was second to the special effects monster. There was nothing else new that made it into the top ten at all.

Two great movies, but then, every film on the list is worth seeing.
What a year for Hollywood!
