Box Office Analysis

Here are the top 5 movies for the weekend of December 10, 2008:

1. Beverly Hills Chihuahua 17.5 million

2. Quarantine 14.2M

3. Body of Lies 13.1M

4. Eagle Eye 11.0M

5. Nick and Norah's Infinite
Playlist 6.5M



The popularity of Beverly Hills Chihuahua may be due to people seeking light entertainment in the wake of the bad economy, wars, etc. Quarantine did fairly well possibly because of the ongoing love of horror films. The experts expected Body of Lies to be the top movie of the weekend. However, the public is tired of war, and this 70,000,000 dollar film is in trouble.

People may also be getting tired of Russell Crowe and Leonardo di Caprio. The exciting Eagle Eye continues to soldier on. Nick and Norah, based on a bestselling young adult novel, has a small cult following. It should do well on DVD.

See you at the movies.
