Why Fark, Drudge and Huffington when you can Buzz!?Without any real breakout hits, Hollywood’s seeing solid rather than spectacular box office so far this year as the first quarter ends. As of Wednesday, 2008 receipts hit $1.98 billion, or 3% above the same point last year, according to Rentrak. And a significant amount of this year’s take has come from 2007 holdovers “I Am Legend,” “Alvin and the Chipmunks,” “National Treasure: Book of Secrets” and “Juno.” The year’s about to see its first $100 million grosser as Fox’s “Horton Hears a Who” — the only pic to post back-to-back weekend wins this year — crosses the century mark today.
