Box office blog: 'Treasure' continues to shine

Over a weekend without any new releases, last week's winner, "National Treasure: Book of Secrets," continued its box office reign and earned another $35.6 million, bringing its total to a whopping $124 million since opening Dec. 21. How did this happen? We can't figure it out, and ditto for "Alvin and the Chipmunks," which made another $30 million to place second and increase its take to $142 million since opening Dec. 14. Are you serious, America?

OK, we've calmed down. The rest of the top five: Will Smith's vampire flick "I Am Legend" bit into a host of new fans, landing at No. 3 with $27.5 million. (That's $195 million since Dec. 7.) "Charlie Wilson's War" was fourth with $11.8 million, and the funny, sweet indie "Juno" rode a wave of word of mouth and great reviews to place fifth with $10.3 million.

What was the best movie you saw over the weekend? What were the best movies you saw last year? Is anyone looking forward to next week's only wide opening, "One Missed Call"?
