So apparently America loves watching the world end. The No. 1 movie this weekend was "2012" by a mile. It brought in $65 million, well above "A Christmas Carol" in second place. It only brought in $22 million.
Then there was a huge drop to "The Men Who Stare At Goats," which only brought in $6 million.
The huge story of the weekend has to be "Precious" which brought in $6 million on 174 screens.
Hey kids, Tim here. Stephanie agreed to an experiment where she had to give up the Internet for a week. Guess what she was doing when the project started?
OK, so I'll finish up here.
Two other big stories of the weekend were "Couples Retreat" and "Paranormal Activity" both crossed the $100 million mark. Making them the twenty second and twenty third films to do so this year.
This year still needs a few more hits as 2008 had 29 films that crossed $100 million.
"Pirate Radio" did well in it's per screen average, $3,293, but with a reported budget of $50 million they sure didn't try hard enough with it. Especially only releasing it on 882 screens.
This week is "Planet 51" and "The Blind Side." Both of which should find a good audience with children and people looking for a heartwarming story.
No other movies opening, despite what you might see on the news or on the cover of EVERY freaking magazine.
Nope, no other movie...
