The Hobbit Remains Box Office Champ in Second Weekend Tom Cruise's action pic Jack Reacher debuts in second place.

As expected, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey remained the No. 1 movie at the North American box office this weekend, easily fending off newcomers Jack Reacher, This is 40, The Guilt Trip, and Monsters Inc. 3D.

However, The Hobbit did suffer the biggest second weekend drop (57%) of any movie based on J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth series. Weep not for The Hobbit just yet, though, as it has so far earned $288 million worldwide (although Les Miserables had a bigger debut in Japan than The Hobbit did).

Here are the weekend estimates via Rentrak:

  1. The Hobbit $36.7 million
  2. Jack Reacher $15.6 million
  3. This is 40 $12 million
  4. Rise of the Guardians $5.9 million
  5. Lincoln $5.6 million
  6. The Guilt Trip $5.4 million
  7. Monsters Inc. 3D $5 million
  8. Skyfall $4.7 million
  9. Life of Pi $3.8 million
  10. Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 $2.6 million
