New Year's Eve Wins the Box Office

by Becky Kirsch 1

It was an incredibly lackluster showing at the movies this weekend, with New Year's Eve taking the crown, but only pulling a meager $13.7 million in the weakest box office weekend since 2008. It did manage to beat Jonah Hill's new comedy, The Sitter, which followed in second with $10 million. Breaking Dawn Part 1 was finally knocked out of the top spot, and settled for third with $7.9 million. The Muppets took fourth place with $7.1 million, and Arthur Christmas rounded out the top five with $6.6 million.
