The weekend after Christmas was kind to most films. War Horse was oddly frontloaded, but given Oscar nominations in a few weeks should be able to ride to $100 million. Ditto for Dragon Tattoo, which will make it to $100 million because the studio will most likely fudge the numbers. Sony is known for this. We Bought a Zoo benefitted the most from word of mouth and along with Alvin may have some staying power in the coming weeks given limited competition. Tinker Tailor will just barely make it into wide release and could go higher than I have it based on screen count.
