Disney’s new animated version of A Christmas Carol hit theaters three weeks before Thanksgiving, but produced a hit for the weekend, raking in an even $30 million in its opening bow. While some nice Orlando vacations might be a warmer destination, it was a nice, cozy spot atop the box office, which began November with a nice, $100 million plus for the Top 12 movies out this week.

Michael Jackson’s This Is It slowed down considerably, but was still good enough for a distant second place, hauling in $13.1 million. The Men Who Stare At Goats wasn’t far behind at number three, with $12.7 million, while The Fourth Kind was close behind that, at $12.2 million.

Paranormal Activity was the first movie to finish with less than $10 million, hauling in $8.2 million nearly two months after its initial limited release and a month after it first hit theaters nationwide. The Cameron Diaz vehicle opened poorly with $7.5 million, but fortunately only sported a $25 million budget.
