Movie studios finally updated their New Year's Day holiday box office estimates this evening with the numbers showing no real surprises. While New Year's Eve is traditionally a quieter night at theaters, the first day of the new year usually shows a small jump in cash and 2008 is no different. The only noteworthy change was the jump Water Horse: Legend of the Deep took, taking over Alien vs. Predator - Requiem's sixth place spot.
For the compelete five day holiday weekend numbers, check out the chart below. For last weekend's traditional three day totals, check here.
And, as long as your taking in Hollywood's end-of-year/start-of-year financial status, you might also enjoy CB's 2007 box office wrap up and a review of the cash crunch that loomed over Hollywood in 2007. Take a look!
