This weekend at the box office

The hits “National Treasure: Book of Secrets,” “Alvin and the Chipmunks” and “I Am Legend” look poised once again to dominate the box-office results in the last weekend of 2007, although the sequel “Aliens vs. Predator -- Requiem” may be a formidable new challenger. These figures are Times projections only. Studios will release estimated weekend totals Sunday and final results Monday.
