But Awake snoozes and loses…

It seemed appropriate that the only big new release to hit the US box office charts this week should be a thriller about someone under anaesthetic, starring Hayden Christensen, who regularly puts audiences to sleep. And it’s traditional for the stateside movie-going habits to slip into something of a coma in the post-Thanksgiving lull.

More on Awake in a moment, but there was decent news for Disney princess comedy Enchanted, which managed to cling to the top of the charts, adding $17 million this week and seeing its royal coffers swell to $70.6 million. Also staying put was This Christmas, which nabbed $8.4 million for a running total of $36.9 million. Finally, Beowulf stayed in third, scraping up $7.8 million for a current haul of $68.6 million.
