With the studios concentrating on their Oscar campaigns and the profitable summer months still half a year away, this month is where all of the crap usually gets dumped.

It's a foregone conclusion that Swift's star power could have provided a serious boost to the new flick 'Les Miserables,' which landed in the multiplex on Christmas Day. However, the film's producer insists that given the box office receipts, the movie didn't actually need Swift's celebrity -- or anyone else's -- to make a killing.
