Box Office Report: Dec. 29-Jan. 1

Another holiday weekend, another box office win for “Night at the Museum.” The F/X laden family film, starring Ben Stiller as a dorky security guard who discovers the museum’s exhibits come to life after hours, racked up another $48.2 million for the four-day weekend, taking in well over $100 million since its release.

The only real mover on the charts was, as expected, “Dreamgirls.” Bolstered by its wide release and critical acclaim, the musical moved up to the third slot and should do well as awards season moves on through the next couple of months.

The worldwide box office chart will be absent for the next couple of weeks, as the 2007 films will have to accumulate some grosses before it starts taking shape.
