Capitalizing on the family market for the extended Christmas weekend, the special effects-filled comedy “Night at the Museum” easily took the top spot on the box office chart, with more than $42 million over four days. Last week’s winner, “The Pursuit of Happyness,” held strong with $23.1 million, followed by “Rocky Balboa” with $17 million.
“Dreamgirls” also had an impressive weekend, taking in $9 million with only one day in wide release. That should mean the movie will be much higher on the chart next weekend. “We Are Marshall” was the only real disappointment of the weekend, taking in $8.6 million in what was a very crowded field.
As expected, “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” was the clear winner for the worldwide box office for 2006 – a feat it could duplicate when the third film in the franchise hits theaters next summer.
