"Hobbit" fever beats Tom Cruise at box office

The dwarfs and elves of "The Hobbit" overpowered Tom Cruise to take
the box office title for a second time, grabbing $37.6 million in U.S.
and Canadian ticket sales as a crowd of new films fought for
pre-holiday audiences. Cruise's crime drama "Jack Reacher," a film
about a fatal sniper attack, landed in second place with $15.6
million. In third place, adult comedy "This is 40" pulled in $12
million, according to studio estimates compiled by Reuters on Sunday.
