All jokes aside, The Hobbit took in a monstrous $84.7m this weekend, easily eclipsing all other films this weekend. It’ll be interesting to see whether or not The Hobbit will have staying power next week when Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained releases. Spoiler alert: I’ve seen it and it’s… well, you’ll have to find out next week, won’t you?
