FRIDAY 10 PM, 11TH UPDATE: There look to be fireworks for some Hollywood action and family movies this Fourth Of July long weekend but not for Hollywood stars. Right now total U.S. and Canadian moviegoing for the holiday looks like $230M, which is trailing last year's $250M but still the 2nd biggest Fourth Of July long weekend ever.
Sources tell me that early numbers show that not even the pairing of veteran Hollywood stars Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts could open
Larry Crowne which also was produced and directed and co-written by Hanks. (Did he tell himself to dye his grey hair with the equivalent of black shoe-polish? Looked weird...) Even though the two stars did any and all publicity for it, the romantic comedy was tracking only $4.1M Friday and #4 for just a $13.5M three-day weekend and $16.8M four-day holiday from a wide release into 2,972 theaters. That's a disappointing start for two stars who individually should be able to open a new pic to at least $20M of North American grosses and presumably more when paired. (Their last film duet, Charlie's War, also bombed.) Their latest pic received a 'B' Cinemascore, but just 'C+' from audience members under age 35. Good thing Universal was only distributing, not financing, and good thing the film's negative cost was only $30M. This is the third movie with major stars to disappoint at the box office this summer following Ryan Reynolds in
Green Lantern and Jim Carrey in
Mr. Popper's Penguins.
Meanwhile, Paramount's latest
Transformers: Dark Of The Moon is the giant #1 movie after opening with some 3D-only nighttime sneaks on Tuesday ($5.5M), followed by a full release into 4,013 theaters on Wednesday ($37.7M) and Thursday ($21.4M). Now Friday brings in a big $33.5M. But that's still -15% behind 2009's
Transformers 2 (which did $36.7M on its Friday) despite
TF3's higher 3D ticket prices. That means Michael Bay's robot actioner should reach $100M domestic this three-day weekend, and $185M through the Fourth of July. The movie has been doing better overseas where 3D is more popular. International numbers are up 35% for those markets among the 110 countries that opened Wednesday and Thursday. Projections are for foreign to close in on $200M through Monday for a $385 global cume in its first 7 days since sequels do better overseas than they do domestic. "We expected to start behind the last one," a Paramount exec tells me. "This one has an 'A' CinemaScore and better reviews, so it should play to a better multiple."
Fox's counterprogramming film aimed at tween/teen girls,
Monte Carlo, is performing about as expected with an 'A' CinemaScore: $3M Friday from 2,472 theaters, for $10M for the four-day weekend.
