LOS ANGELES (AP) – It’s a huge opening for “The Hobbit.” “The Hobbit” has the biggest December ever. It brings in nearly $85 million — that’s a better start than any of the three “Lord of Rings” movies. Hollywood is also on track for a record breaking year — topping 2009. The animated “Rise of the Guardians” is a distant second this weekend. “Lincoln” was third for the weekend and it has also crossed the $100 million mark. The James Bond movie “Skyfall” was fourth and is closing in on $1 billion worldwide.
