Top 10 box office hits of the year 2011

All in all business at the domestic box office was the lowest since 1995. Something tells me it had a lot to do with virtually no big movies being produced that weren't followed by a number. Just to drive that point home it should be noted that 8 of the top 10 worldwide box office hits of the year were sequels and it's a trend that doesn't show any signs of letting up. On the bright side global box office hit an all time high this year so somebody is going out to the theater and that's all that really counts.
