Box-Office: THE HOBBIT, UNBROKEN and INTO THE WOODS Lead Christmas Weekend

The Christmas weekend proved to be very merry indeed for three movies. The leader of the pack is still "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" for a second consecutive weekend with $41 million domestically in the last three days and a grand worldwide total of $573 million. In second place we have Angelina Jolie's World War II true story drama "Unbroken" which grossed $47 million in 4 days and close behind at #3 is the fantasy musical "Into the Woods" with $46 million in the same timeframe, a very good start for both films in the upcoming awards season.

The week's other wide release, the remake "The Gambler" starring Mark Wahlberg made a less impressive debut. The film opened in seventh place with $9.3 million over the weekend and $14 million in 4 days. Still, it's not a total disaster for the $25 million movie, especially in the face of such tough competition.

"The Imitation Game" managed to climb into the top 10 after expanding in more theaters and grossed $7.9 million in the last three days. The film will expand further by January 9th.

Tim Burton's "Big Eyes" did not manage to take advantage of the holidays. The biopic scored $3 million from 1,307 theaters and totalled $4.4 million since its release on Christmas day. 

New Wide Releases: "Unbroken", "Into the Woods", "The Gambler", "Big Eyes".
