...million winner; in 2009 he spent $35 million on Taking Woodstock, which grossed just $7.5 million. Meanwhile, The Hangover - another no-star comedy about drugs and larceny, also costing about $35 million - was the year's top-grossing comedy. The Hangover was out of nowhere; Sandra Bullock was out of the past. After nearly a decade without a solid hit, she starred in The Proposal and The Blind Side. Combined budgets of the two films: $69 million. Combined domestic gross: $375 million. At 45, she's Miss Congeniality again...

And in those stories, by the way, there was very little actual news...
Every year for the past two decades, the movie that was No. 1 Thanksgiving weekend also won the following weekend. This time, the picture that finished second in the previous two frames rose to the top by not falling too far. The Sandra Bullock vehicle dropped 49% from last weekend, to $20.4 million, while New Moon fell 70%, to $15.7 million. All the other holdovers among the top dozen films - A Christmas Carol, Old Dogs, 2012, Ninja Assassin, Planet 51, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Precious - took a steep tumble, from 52% for A Christmas Carol to 67% for Precious...
