It was a disappointing weekend at the box office. New Year's Eve took the top spot, but only managed to earn $13.7 million. The Sitter also disappointed, although it was not completely unexpected for the R-rated comedy. Immortals continues to hang out in the top 10 and has brought its domestic gross to $79.8 million.
Next weekend starts the big event film releases for the holidays, along with films that studios are trying to push for the Oscar race.
