Last Week’s Results

In a surprise outcome, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues foundered at the box office failing to match the $40 million box office some prognosticators were expecting. Instead, the second week of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug held the top spot at the box office falling around 57%. Next week, Peter Jackson’s film is likely to fall out of the top spot, but which film will replace it is uncertain.
