'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' is king of the box office
Movie theaters breathed fire
this weekend as “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” struck box-office
gold. The Peter Jackson-directed sequel to last year’s “The Hobbit: An
Unexpected journey,” raked in a studio-estimated $73.7 million.
It was a solid opening, but the New Line Cinema, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Warner Bros.
production came in about $6 million shy of its projected take going
into the weekend, according to numbers indicated by prerelease audience
surveys.
The original “Hobbit” opened almost a year ago to the day and enjoyed an $84.6-million weekend, making it the best December opening ever. It went on to earn $1 billion worldwide.

'The Hobbit' Hobbles Into First Place at the Box Office
WINNER OF THE WEEK: Christian Bale. The Artist Formerly Known as Batman has two top-15 movies this week. Out of the Furnace is
holding up well at Number Six with an estimated $2.3 million (for a
10-day total of $9.5 million), despite lackluster reviews and heavy
competition for action audiences. Meanwhile, his Oscar-hopeful movie American Hustle opened
at Number 15 with a per-screen average of $115,000 (that's an estimated
$690,000 on six screens), the highest per-screen average of any movie
this week. (The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug earned $18,877 per screen, about one-sixth as much as American Hustle .)
