Hollywood movies' takes raised over Christmas
The Associated Press
Hollywood has picked up a little Christmas bonus.
Studios generally underestimated the size of their movie audiences over the weekend, and they're now revising the holiday revenues upward.
Leading the way is Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, which pulled in $29.5 million US for the weekend. That Monday figure is $3 million more than distributor Paramount estimated a day earlier.
For the four-day period Friday to Monday, Paramount estimates Ghost Protocol will have taken in $46.2 million to raise its domestic total to $78.6 million.
Studios Monday also reported stronger results than they did a day earlier for Robert Downey Jr.'s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows at $20.3 million; Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin at $9.7 million; and Matt Damon's We Bought a Zoo at $9.5 million.
