New releases took the top three slots at the box
office this weekend, ending Hostel's short-lived reign and pushing last year's blockbuster holdovers down to
the bottom of the pile. Glory Road, a mushy sports drama directed by newcomer James Gartner, landed
at the top of the heap with an unremarkable $13.5 million; Last Holiday, Wayne Wang's surprisingly
well-reviewed remake of the 1950
film starring Alec Guinness, came in not far behind with $13 mil. The Weinstein Company's long-delayed CGI
meta-fairy tale Hoodwinked! landed in third, and with hostel falling all the way to fifth, that left
room for only one 2005 flick in the top five. That slot went to The Chronicles of Narnia, which managed to
scrape together $10.1 million in its 700th week in release. On awards watch: heading into tonight's Golden Globes it
looks like Munich is just about dead. Spielberg's drama dropped out of the top ten this weekend and isn't
likely to recover.
