The Blind Side turned out to be a real eye-opener for box-office analysts over the weekend as the movie took over first place in its third weekend with an estimated $20.1 million -- about what the analysts had predicted it would make in its first weekend. The film, which was released with little buzz amid reports of unexceptional tracking, has now taken in $129.3 million and seems certain to become the highest-grossing sports movie ever produced. Meanwhile, The Twilight Saga: New Moon clearly has lost its bite. It dropped a steep 63 percent to about $15.7 million. (Nevertheless, its current tally stands at an astounding $255.6 million.) On the other hand Disney's A Christmas Carol continued to be the gift that keeps on giving for Disney as it brought in an additional $7.5 million in its fifth week to bring its total to $115 million. Four films opened wide over the weekend but made little impact. The best performer of the lot was Brothers, which took in an unexceptional $9.7 million. Armored, which was not screened for critics in advance, brought in just $6.6 million. Everybody's Fine was anything but fine as it opened with just $4 million. And then there was Transylmania, which proved that vampires don't always flourish in the darkness of movie theaters. Earning a total of $274,000 at 1,007 theaters, it instantly gained the record for the least amount of money ever taken in by a movie opening in more than 1,000 theaters during an opening weekend. In limited release, Up in the Air with George Clooney flew sky high, earning around $1.2 million in just 15 theaters -- or an average of $79,000 per theater. The film received solid reviews on Friday, the same day it was voted best film of the year by the National Board of Review.
