The Blind Side tackles out the competition

Submitted by Melissa Molina on December 6, 2009 – 2:28 pm2 Comments

00026165People accept that they want a real heart warming tale to watch that was not falsely advertised as the Sandra Bullock starring film The Blind Side takes out the others. Finishing up the weekend with $20.4 Million, the true story based feature helped deflate the Twilight Saga: New Moon box office monster from it’s top spot reign. At this point it’s easy to argue that the huge base of tween fangirls and their mothers have finished doing a majority of their repeated viewings to let it start to slide. Then again, it’s not too much of a big deal counting that they’ve made a whopping $255 Million in the box office domestically alone.

Brothers managed to wrangle out a little bit of dough, despite the some what scary dramatic feel of the film, as it takes in $9.7 Million. Not much is to be said about the semi-mediocre heist film Armored only wrangles up $6.6 Million and the Robert De Niro starring picture Everybody’s Fine show’s that not everything is fine as it only brings in $4 Million. Here’s the rest of the weekend box office reported below thanks to Box Office Mojo:

Weekend Box Office (December 4-6)

  1. The Blind Side  ($20.4 M)
  2. Twilight Saga: New Moon  ($15.7 M)
  3. Brothers  ($9.7 M)
  4. A Christmas Carol  ($7.5 M)
  5. Old Dogs  ($6.9 M)
  6. 2012  ($6.6 M)
  7. Armored  ($6.6 M)
  8. Ninja Assassin  ($5 M)
  9. Planet 51  ($4.3 M)
  10. Everybody’s Fine  ($4 M)

The Oscar race is starting to heat up and this upcoming weekend is no exception. With limited releases of A Single Man, The Lovely Bones and the wide release of Invictus happening, the hopeful nominees are ready for battle.
