Posted on December 17, 2007

Will Smith stole the box office this past weekend: his SF film I Am Legend made a whopping $76.5 million. That is a new box officer record for December that was previously held by Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, which opened with $72.6 million in 2003.

In second place was the poorly-reviewed Alvin and the Chipmunks which made $45 million. The Golden Compass hung on for third place, making $9 million. In fourth place was Enchanted which made another $6 million. In fifth place was No Country for Old Men, which made $3 million.
