The Hobbit, Frozen Expected To Win Box Office Weekend

With kids out of school and everyone on visiting the in-laws for the holidays, family-friendly fare is expected to take the top two spots at the box office again this weekend, with both The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and Frozen expected to come in 1-2 for the three-day holiday weekend.By the end of the weekend, it looks as though The Hobbit will be approaching $200 million domestic and $550 to $600 million globally, while Frozen will be creeping up on $250 million domestic/$400 million global.The third spot will likely go to the raunchy, R-rated comedy Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues while the fourth and fifth spots are currently a toss-up between American Hustle (which stars a half-dozen superhero actors from the recent past) or The Wolf of Wall Street (which features The Walking Dead‘s Jon Bernthal).
