The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was more than expected to open huge, and it did.  All other movies will be fighting to stay in theaters since seven movies are scheduled to open wide by Christmas (Jack Reacher, This is 40, Les Miserables, Django Unchained, The Guilt Trip, Parental Guidance, Monster Inc. 3D).
