Box Office Wrap-Up

with Sean Lynch



2012 opens to huge numbers both domestically
(where it took over $65M at the US Box Office) and across
the world (where it took in over $230M). It's expected to hold up
well and could work it's way to taking over $500M worldwide.

A Christmas Carol held up well in its second week after a
fairly soft opening. It should hold on
strong well into the Christmas season.

Meanwhile Pirate Radio, released as The Boat That Rocked
internationally sinks without a trace on
just over 800 screens taking just over $2.5M.
