‘True Grit’ Takes Friday Box-Office Lead Over ‘Fockers’

First off… Happy New Year and thank you for making 2010 a great year! Secondly, please excuse me if I take one last weekend off examining Friday box-office numbers.

However, I will supply them and open the floor for you to tell me what to look for in my Sunday morning box-office wrap-up tomorrow and I will also pose the question, can True Grit maintain the #1 spot over Little Fockers for the weekend? Also, will Black Swan be able to sneak into the top ten or will The Tourist hold it off?

See you here tomorrow to discuss. Here are Friday’s estimates:

1. True Grit – $8.1 million
2. Little Fockers – $7.7 million
3. TRON: Legacy – $5 million
4. Yogi Bear – $4 million
5. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader – $3.4 million
6. Tangled – $3.3 million
7. Gulliver’s Travels – $2.9 million
8. The Fighter – $2.6 million
9. The King’s Speech – $2.4 million
10. The Tourist – $1.97 million
