Top 10 Weekend Box Office: January 8 to 10, 2010

James Cameron’s Avatar and Sherlock Holmes continue to lead the top 10.

In 5 weeks Nine is out of the Top 10 (actually it is 13th), and with 7 weeks Disney’s The Princess and the Frog is at the limit, maybe 2D animation isn’t so accepted nowadays.

New Movies

• Daybreakers
• Leap Year
• Youth in Revolt
