'Hobbit' ($29.9M) tops 'Frozen' ($28.9M) at box office

"Outside the top five, the weekend’s biggest story was Universal’s 47 Ronin, the long-delayed, $175 million Keanu Reeves samurai epic that grossed just $9.9 million over the three-day weekend, bringing its five-day total to $20.6 million. Universal has announced that it will take a write-down to absorb the movie’s failure, although the studio is still having its best year yet thanks to giant hits like Despicable Me 2, Fast & Furious 6, and Identity Thief."

"In the big-screen showdown between Robert DeNiro and Sylvester Stallone, the loser was…. their movie Grudge Match, which took in just $7.3 million this weekend for a $13.44 million total.
But the weekend’s lowest scoring wide-release belonged to Justin Bieber, whose concert doc Believe took in a mere $2 million. The film’s reported budget is only $5 million, so that’s not a huge loss — although it pales in comparison to the $29.5 million debut of Bieber’s last pic, 2011′s Never Say Never."
