Box-Office Top Five

#1 "A Christmas Carol" ($31 million)

#2 "Michael Jackson's This Is It" ($14 million)

#3 "The Men Who Stare at Goats" ($13.3 million)

#4 "The Fourth Kind" ($12.5 million)

#5 "Paranormal Activity" ($8.6 million)

Despite the first-place finish of Robert Zemeckis's 3-D representation of "A Christmas Carol," yuletide cheer seemed halfhearted at the weekend box office. Given Jim Carrey's star power, the movie's $200 million budget and the potential family-crowd draw, the $31 million debut from "A Christmas Carol" is a disappointing result for the Disney version of the Charles Dickens classic.

Second place went to "Michael Jackson's This Is It," which earned less than half as much as the first-place finisher. Winding down Friday evening in fourth place, "This Is It" wound up in the #2 slot thanks »

Since the release of the first "Twilight" film, fans have been divided on one issue: Team Edward or Team Jacob? Well, the November 20 release of "New Moon" is sure to make that decision harder. MTV News left it to our favorite celebrities.

So who is on Team Edward? "No, I really did not like [Jacob]. I would put my book down and be like, 'Leave Bella alone,' " "Hills" star Stephanie Pratt told MTV News. "I had issues with Jacob — that he was just, like, manipulating with her and messing with her, especially when Edward came back in the picture ... I get really mad and I feel bad 'cause I think I take it out on Taylor [Lautner]. I hate Jacob."
