I Am Legend Breaks December Records


I thought this movie would do well but I didn't think it would have a showing quite like this. I am Legend was number 1 at the box office, with a record breaking 76.5 million weekend. The biggest December debut ever, surpassing the 72.6 that Lord of the Rings: Return of the King pulled in on 12/17/03. Not to bad for the science fiction & fantasy genera that's base off the novel by Richard Matheson.

Thanks to Mania for this info.
