All box office grosses for North America. * Budget is estimated.
It was bound to happen sooner or later but “Avatar†was dethroned from the number one spot this week by “Dear John†grossing $30.5M. “Dear John†is going to be a very profitable film with a production budget of only $25M, the real test though will be next week when it goes against “Valentine’s Dayâ€. “Avatar†eased to number two after seven weeks at the top. “Titanic†spent 15 weeks at number1 so although “Avatar†is beating records left and right, it didn’t beat that record. It grossed $22.9M this weekend bringing its total to $629.3M after two months of release.
“From Paris With Love†flopped this weekend with only $8.2M in week one. With a budget of $52M, this movie will be lucky to gross $25M before it flies onto DVD/Blu-Ray. “Edge of Darkness†plummeted in week two dropping a horrible 60.2% grossing $6.9M. With only $29M in the bank so far it will end up with a disappointing $40M. “The Tooth Fairy,†on a lighter note, continues to show its legs dropping only 33.7% with $6.6M this weekend. A total gross for the family film could reach $55-60M depending on how it holds next week against “Percy Jackson & The Olympians: Lightning Thiefâ€.
“When in Rome†dropped 55.1% this weekend, grossing $5.5M, expect this film to end with around $30M. “The Book of Eli†grossed $4.7M bringing its total to $82M, the $100M mark might be a challenge to hit if it continues to drop at this pace.
“Crazy Heart†finally hit the top ten after eight weeks in release.The Oscar nominated film grossed $3.6M in 819 theaters bringing its total to $11.1M. With a small budget of $7M, this movie will have a bright future as it hopes to take home some gold this Oscar season.
“Legion†dropped to $3.5M bringing its total to $34.7M;its final gross shouldn’t pass the $40M mark. “Sherlock Holmes†finally crossed the $200M mark bringing its gross to $201.5M after seven weeks, a total of $210M is likely.
Next week, a flood of new movies are released, starting with “The Wolf Man†finally after numerous delays, the ensemble film “Valentine’s Day†and “Percy Jackson & The Olympians: Lightning Thiefâ€.
