"December 21-23, 2007 Movie Box Office"
"National Treasure 2" #1

National Treasure 2 Postr

No surprise at the box office this weekend - with "National Treasure 2." Its first weekend in movie theaters, "National Treasure 2" scammed more than $45 million from movie theater loving audiences. Last week's #1 movie, "I Am Legend," dropped to #2 with a decent $34 million. "Alvin & the Chipmunks" dropped from #2 to #3, with $29 million its second weekend. Shockingly, "Charlie Wilson's War" and "Sweeney Todd" - bombed - and, to say the least, did not perform as well as their distributors predicted and expected and dreamed, with $9.6 million and $9.3 million, respectively. As for "Walk Hard" - it remained flaccid, not arousing any interest, claiming less than $4 million its first weekend in theaters.
