Leatherface (Dan Yeager) finds his weapon in “Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D.”
1. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D – $23 million [debut week] The seventh installment of the horror franchise cut through the three strong holdovers from the previous two weeks to take the top spot. I almost feel like this is a case of three top films duking it out and splitting the audience just enough for a new film to sneak in and win the weekend. The 2003 edition starring Jessica Biel brought in $28 million its opening weekend and didn’t have the benefit of 3D to help boost the numbers. Maybe more concerning for Lionsgate is that this will be a very short stay atop the box office as horror films generally don’t hold well the second weekend and “Gangster Squad” and Oscar favorite “Zero Dark Thirty” come out Friday meaning “Massacre” could likely miss the Top 5 next week altogether.

Pictures release.
1. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey – $32 million [$130 million; 2nd week] Peter Jackson’s new Middle Earth trilogy earned an expected consecutive week atop the box office. In its second weekend, “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings” — the first installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy – fell 18% from its opening weekend to bring in $38 million the following weekend while the second film, “The Two Towers,” fell 21.2%, but brought in $48 million its second weekend. “The Hobbit’s” numbers are a bit behind that and could easily be knocked off the top spot with stiff competition from “Django Unchained” and “Les Misérables.” More

I caught the screening for “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” last night. It’s shaping up to be one of the more ridiculously easy reviews I’ve written all year. Per the rules, that won’t be up until Friday, but to share a little Hobbit happenings with everyone, here’s another round of pictures for you. More

Warner Bros. released a new batch of pictures in advance of “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” and yeah, my excitement level for this is getting pretty high. Not “Star Wars Episode 7″ high, but close. More

The Bridge Direct sent over some new images from their figure line based on “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” and they look solid and should make for some decent complimentary additions to Toy Biz’s “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy collection.
I’m getting more and more excited about the start of this next trilogy and can’t wait to see how Peter Jackson makes this first glimpse at Middle Earth as engaging as his previous trilogy. More

I’m pretty excited to return to another of my December traditions – watching a Middle Earth film with “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” the first of a new trilogy from Peter Jackson coming to theaters on Dec. 14.
In what’s almost a completely unnecessary move considering the legions of Jackson/Lord of the Rings fans, there’s a bit of a countdown going for the worldwide theatrical trailer for “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.” So that calls for a new round of pictures and a release on Tolkien Week. More
