Planet 51 doesn’t quite lift off

According to weekend estimates[1], Planet 51 earned a respectable but not outstanding $12.6 million over the weekend, good enough for fourth place. As was anticipated, the animated comedy was no match for the record-breaking numbers of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and was barely able to open above Disney’s A Christmas Carol, which continued its fairly solid run with a weekend of $12.2 million. The Jim Carrey holiday movie now has a total of $79 million, and is expected to perform well over next week’s Thanksgiving weekend.
