Respuesta: Box Office - Enseñame la pasta!!!!
FRIDAY PM/SATURDAY AM UPDATE: Here is Friday's North American box office and the weekend forecasts. This was supposed to be Hollywood's comeback weekend after an underwhelming start to the new year. But Friday through Sunday is expected to reach only $125 million, which pales in comparison (-35%) to last year's first weekend in March when just Alice In Wonderland 3D alone did $116M and the overall movie total was $196M. More analysis coming.
1. Rango (Paramount) NEW [3,917 Theaters]
Friday $9.6M, Estimated Weekend $38M
After weeks of tracking strongly, Pirates Of The Caribbean duo Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp reteaming for Paramount's Rango appeared headed to $11 million Friday going to $40 million but then ended up just shy of $10M for $38M. That's a feat considering it's a non-summer 2D toon and the kiddies aren't even out of school today. True, the pic might have added 15%-20% to its grosses had it been 3D. But that lizard and company are playing like a four-quadrant hit pic. Is ILM going to give DreamWorks a run for Paramount's toon distribution? Yup. ("Have you checked the DreamWorks Animation stock lately? It's becoming the biggest short in the media business," a rival studio emailed me...).
2. The Adjustment Bureau (MRC/Universal) NEW [2,840 Theaters]
Friday $6.7M, Estimated Weekend $21M
The Adjustment Bureau is looking at overperforming this weekend for definitely more than the mid-to-high teens Universal was predicting. The studio acquired the pic from MRC for $62 million. Hey, Matt Damon running, and running, and running a la Bourne is a tried and true and derivative formula so the PG-13 actioner should have earned more. Tracking seemed to indicate the film is appealing to an older demographic because it's a romance, a thriller, and a sci-fi'er with Damon and Emily Blunt. Besides 2840 theaters in North America, the pic is releasing day and date in 21 territories including Australia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Russia, Serbia Montenegro, Singapore, Thailand, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Philippines, Poland, Spain, Turkey, and the UK.
3. Beastly (CBS Films/Sony) NEW [1,952 Theaters]
Friday $3.5M, Estimated Weekend $10M
CBS Films' Beastly starring Alex Pettyfer in another career debut, this time an updated Beauty And The Beast storyline, is overperforming beyond the $8M expected this weekend. That's better than the low expectations considering the narrow release.
