Clash of the Titans took top honors this past weekend, so that makes three of the top five movies that are in 3D. Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too and the Miley Cyrus vehicle The Last Song both enjoyed strong opening numbers as well. Here's the top five.
1. Clash of the Titans: $61.2 million
2. Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too? $29.3 million
3. How to Train Your Dragon: $29 million
4. The Last Song: $16 million
5. Alice in Wonderland: $8.2 million
Just one new movie this week, but it looks like it's good for some laughs.
Date Night
What's It All About: In this action comedy a couple find themselves mistaken for a pair of thieves and their comfortable and somewhat stale lifestyle is suddenly thrown off kilter.
Why It Might Do Well: The film features Tina Fey and Steve Carell, who also star in two of NBC's top comedies. That, plus the trailer looks promising.
Why It Might Not Do Well: The title may have some movie-goers hankering for dried fruit, which most concession stands don't carry.
Number of Theaters: 3,300
Prediction: $34 million
I'm betting Clash of the Titans won't be holding on to the top spot with the same tenacity other films have lately, giving Date Night a chance to bask in the glory. Here's my predicton:
1. Date Night
2. Clash of the Titans
3. How to Train Your Dragon
4. Why Did I Get Married Too?
5. The Last Song
Kudos to Brandon and Sebastian for tying with yours truly for the top spot. Here's how we all did:
1. Brandon: 12
1. Matt: 12
1. Sebastian: 12
2. patronofchaos: 10
2. English Gavz: 10
2. Vera: 10
2. greatone: 10
2. Smiggy: 10
3. WJDR: 8
4. bob: 7
