The Day the Earth Stood Still may
not have been a critical hit but it is now officially a box office success,
earning $31 million over the weekend and topping
Four Christmases, which slid into second place.
Twilight,
Bolt, and
Australia followed in third, fourth, and fifth places respectively.
Meanwhile, Variety is reporting that
smaller, independent films "delivered one of the best weekends ever for the specialty box office."
Reese and Vince proved a potent pair at the box office once again as
Four Christmases came in at No. 1 for the second weekend in a row. The holiday comedy
earned an estimated $18.2 million over the weekend, bringing its overall total since debuting to $70.8 million.
Now it's December, we've officially entered the festive season and Christmas movies are starting to become prominent in the TV schedules. Now Four Christmases is
number one at the box office, with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn bringing a little holiday spirit to cinema audiences. But do you love Christmas movies?
Four Christmases Style: Kate This is the outfit that Kate (Reese Witherspoon) wears for the majority of Four Christmases, it's also the most classic. The top was created by costume designer Sophie Carbonell but the blouse from Theory looks nearly identical to it. On bottom Kate wears a skirt by Hugo Boss and a belt from Furla.
Thanks to all who found time during the busy holiday week to
chip in captions for this week's challenge from
Four Christmases:
Here are your finalists:
- "Sometimes when I get nervous, I put my fingers in my armpits and sniff them like that. I was prepared to play Moses, not Joseph!"
- Vince: "I will now play 'Silent Night' using only armpit farts!"
- "Listen up Mary, we got 1 down to go with 4 seconds left so I need you to launch that baby as far as you can. You got that?!"

Four Christmases Style: Kate In another early scene from Four Christmases, Kate (Reese Witherspoon) takes dance lessons with her boyfriend Brad (Vince Vaughn). Because she's showing off her moves, Kate wears a dress that sways with her. This particular piece is from Moschino, which she pairs with a belt from Yves Saint Laurent and a Cartier love bracelet.
