Weakest Weekend Since 2008 Gives ‘New Year’s Eve’ A Hollow Victory

New Year's EveEarly and mid-December are always sluggish because of holiday preparations, but this weekend the box office dropped to its lowest level in three years. The weak results allowed Garry Marshall’s star-studded ensemble pic “New Year’s Eve” to win the weekend despite grossing a tepid $13.7 million.

The Top-12 grossing motion pictures for the weekend, per data collected as of Sunday, December 11, 2011 are as follows:
