THE HOBBIT overpowers five newcomers
THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG and FROZEN managed to hold the top two spots rejecting the assault of five major new movies. ANCHORMAN 2: THE LEGEND CONTINUES took third. AMERICAN HUSTLE fourth and the appalling WOLF OF WALL STREET fifth.   In FROZEN’s first wide release weekend it made $67 million. THE WOLF OF WALL STREET, with a budget also above $100 million, made $18 million. FROZEN made almost $28 million in its fifth weekend. By it’s fifth weekend THE WOLF OF WALL STREET will be virtually dead.
