Weekend Recap - 'Precious,' J.J. Abrams, 'Battleship'

DateMonday, November 9, 2009 at 5:14AM
Even though A Christmas Carol didn't earn as much money as it was expected to, there was still big box office news over the weekend. The probable Best Picture nominee Precious only played in 18 theaters and still nearly made two million bucks. That's a record.

We're also getting to the end of the decade, which means a lot of lists you're sure to disagree with. And we found one of those on Saturday. Also, Natalie Portman talks about her upcoming Black Swan lesbian scene, and Peter Berg's Battleship might be attacked be...aliens. Sigh/head shake.
