We’ll give them a shot for being one of the most enchanting blockbuster before year 2011 commences and kisses us goodbye, but here you go, the results of pre-Christmas US box office! The movie which shows off an all-star cast and that includes Lea Michele, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ashton Kutcher, and Jon Bon Jovi, which garnered $13.7 million in its first three days of on release. On New Year’s Eve heels is $10 million comedy film The Sitter, starring Jonah Hill as this wily vagabond of a college student who gets more than what he should be paid for when he agrees to turn babysitter for the night. On top five, here are the films which had been on release for some weeks now, including The Twilight Saga: breaking Dawn in third, adding $7.9 million to its overall gross of $259.5 million.

 The Muppets – which has been one of the surprise hits of the season – was fourth with $7.1million, bringing its overall total to $65.8million, and festive animated adventure Arthur Christmas completed the top five with $6.6million.

 But then the total box office take for the whole week was around $158million which is according to estimates possibly suggests that only around 19 million people took the cinema by storm in the US in the past two weekends.

 Studio officials have said that this means audience figures were lower than in the weeks following 9/11 when cinema audiences experienced a similar slump.

‘The audience certainly is available. Unfortunately, they have not come out in the numbers they have in the past,’ said Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner Bros., which released New Year’s Eve.

‘I’m hoping this is just a glitch, and starting next weekend, the box-office will expand.’

Next weekend could see a reversal of fortune as two of the bigger films of the holiday season – Sherlock Holmes: Game Of Shadows and Alvin And The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked – are released.
