Ripping 25.6 million off of the general public and the leading box office earner for a second weekend in a row, the Cat in the Hat made a crap load more money this weekend. It remained, however, a crap movie. Eddie Murphy's weakly reviewed entry into the half-ass-holiday-kid-flicks genre, Haunted Mansion, made 25.3 million.
Elf held on at the number three spot with 22.1 million. Earlier today, the studio's got into a pissing match over who really won the box office weekend. Bastards. Here's the final guessing estimates.
1. The Cat in the Hat - $25.6
2. The Haunted Mansion - $25.3
3. Elf - $22.1
4. Gothika - $12.71
5. Master and Commander - $12.7
6. Bad Santa - $12.5
7. The Missing - $11.7
8. Timeline - $8.7
