From THR:

Hollywood has spent most of 2011 trailing last year’s numbers at the domestic box office. But with a big boost from a vampire wedding and six weeks of highly anticipated movies about to hit theaters, there’s a real chance of beating 2010’s record take of $10.6 billion.

The holiday season brings new installments in the Alvin and the Chipmunks, Mission: Impossibleand Sherlock Holmes franchises, the original tentpole We Bought a Zoo and a double dose ofSteven Spielberg with The Adventures of Tintin and War Horse. There’s also the English-language remake of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, the Jonah Hill comedy The Sitter, plus a slew of specialty awards contenders hoping to mimic last year’s The King’s Speech, which rode its Oscar buzz to a whopping $414.2 million worldwide gross.
