Black Friday saw the box office increase its overall take again thanks to the entry of the doomsday blockbuster 2012 in to the market. The film is looking at $60M+ weekend, with only last Friday's number one A CHRISTMAS CAROL coming anywhere close to competing with its smaller $5.6M estimated take.

Stay tuned for a more comprehensive wrap-up of the weekend box office in North America for 13th-15th November 2009.

The Top 10 at the North American box office took in an estimated total of $41.76 million for the whole of Friday 13th November 2009.
