Weekend Box Office: 'New Year's Eve' Disappointing Debut At The Top Spot


While it did finish in first place, New Year's Eve dropped the ball this weekend with a disappointing $13.7 million opening. Things were comparatively better for The Sitter, though Jonah Hill didn't impress in his solo debut.

There is also a very good chance that once all movies report tomorrow, overall box office will wind up at its lowest point since 2008. New Year's Eve's estimated $13.7 million was off 75 percent from Valentine's Day's $56.3 million debut last February. A drop was to be expected, given the different time of year and the distance from the titular holiday, though the opening is still far lower than even the most modest expectations.
