With only one movie – the #5 ranking Jessica Alba medical thriller Awake – opening in wide release, this weekend’s box office looks much like last weekend’s. Audiences are still smitten by the button-cute Amy Adams in Disney’s storybook spoof, Enchanted. The #1 movie doubled the take of its closest competition, the #2 Beowulf, with the holiday comedy This Christmas closely behind at #3. After a month on the Top 10, the audience and critical hit American Gangster dropped off, as did the innocuous Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium (with the #10 No Country For Old Men returning). Another one-movie weekend this coming with the respectable fantasy adventure, The Golden Compass, opening in wide release.
