...critical moment, leading to an overtime defeat. The NFC Championship game on Sunday night - a Superdome epic between the New Orleans Saints and Favre's Minnesota Vikings that ended in a 31-28 win for the Saints, sending them forward to meet Indianapolis in the Feb. 7 Super Bowl - had many breathtaking twists and turns, yet it didn't take long for one question to dominate the post-game conversation: Did the iconic Brett Favre just finish his final game...

That's happened just three times in the month it's been in theaters: on Dec. 23 with Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel; on Christmas day with Sherlock Holmes; and this past Friday. The Book of Eli, a postapocalyptic Western about a martial artist whose greatest artillery is his copy of the Bible, took in $11.7 million that day, beating...
