The Dark Alfred Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I was surprised to see Barren World missing the top spot, TEotU is clearly the story of the year so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RySenkari Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 April 1-3: "Adventures" Stops "Machine" It was a bit of a rough weekend for The Machine Stops, which was expected to take #1 this weekend over the returning Adventures. Instead, Adventures goes for its second straight weekend crown, with Machine forced to settle for a close second. Band Of The Decade was not the film of the decade, or even of the weekend, finishing fifth with a paltry $7 million. The End Of The Universe is still chugging along, rounding out third with a respectable $15 million tally. The Adventures: 25,278,061 The Machine Stops: 24,172,560 The End Of The Universe: 15,263,457 Night Of Error: 9,894,677 Barren World: 9,307,547 Band Of The Decade: 7,085,325 Lucky In Love: 6,437,257 Our Friend The Witch: 3,147,647 Siri: 2,709,384 God's Deal: 2,004,567 April 8-10: "Spring" To The Top The seasonally-appropriate musical "Spring Awakening" was #1 at this weekend's box office in a weekend that saw five films grab $10 million. The Adventures failed to score a three-peat, but was second place with $14 million, while The Day I Met Mina put up a respectable $13 million and finished in third. Spring Awakening: 18,776,507 The Adventures: 14,648,267 The Day I Met Mina: 13,069,537 The Machine Stops: 11,326,544 The End Of The Universe: 10,658,320 Night Of Error: 6,154,682 Barren World: 6,002,185 Lucky In Love: 3,295,678 Band Of The Decade: 2,947,571 Trails Of Tears: 2,708,653 April 15-17: "Paranoia", "Paranoia" The teen screamfest Paranoia easily captured first this weekend, grabbing a strong $27 million and easily beating out romantic comedy Sarah's Surefire Cure For The Blues, which had to settle for second. Spring Awakening saw some of its teen audiences from last week erode, pushing it to third, while Trails of Tears came in fourth despite bowing in only 500 theaters, getting $8 million. Paranoia: 27,485,681 Sarah's Surefire Cure For The Blues: 14,668,314 Spring Awakening: 9,607,581 Trails Of Tears: 8,037,654 The Adventures: 7,846,731 The End Of The Universe: 6,956,228 The Day I Met Mina: 6,671,223 The Machine Stops: 6,584,360 Barren World: 3,985,476 Night Of Error: 3,662,385 April 22-24: "Elantris"' Blockbuster Hopes End In "Tears" In the year's biggest box office upset, western drama Trails of Tears captured first place, beating out Steven Spielberg's highly-hyped Elantris. The film, pushed heavily in advertising but a flop with critics, bowed to only $21 million this weekend, a bigger disappointment even than 2001's A.I.: Artificial Intelligence. Paranoia collapsed, losing nearly two-thirds of its audience to drop to third, while Sarah's Surefire Cure For The Blues and Spring Awakening round out the top five. Trails Of Tears: 23,470,269 Elantris: 21,963,214 Paranoia: 9,563,118 Sarah's Surefire Cure For The Blues: 7,015,639 Spring Awakening: 5,885,327 The Adventures: 5,148,237 The End Of The Universe: 4,621,220 The Machine Stops: 3,821,225 The Day I Met Mina: 3,704,475 Barren World: 2,546,559 April 29-May 1: "Con Air 2" Takes Flight Despite some of the worst reviews of the year, Con Air 2: Terror In The Sky managed to grab a fantastic $51 million, kicking off the summer season early with Nicolas Cage's biggest opening ever. No doubt bolstered by the first film's status as a cable cult classic, Con Air 2 posted the biggest opening weekend of the pre-summer season. Tarsem Singh's Cinderella took advantage of its status as kiddy/female counterprogramming, grabbing nearly $30 million for a strong second-place finish. Con Air 2: Terror In The Sky: 51,251,664 Tarsem Singh's Cinderella: 29,668,432 Trails Of Tears: 14,022,338 Elantris: 7,064,385 Paranoia: 4,921,247 Sarah's Surefire Cure For The Blues: 4,211,222 Spring Awakening: 3,607,549 The Adventures: 3,311,900 The End Of The Universe: 2,935,820 The Day I Met Mina: 2,356,283 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RySenkari Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) May 6-8: Summer Begins With A Bang Interconnected, the heavily hyped sci-fi summer opener, had a raucous $71 million opening, beating studio and critical projections and helping start off summer with some big numbers. Meanwhile, Con Air 2 collapsed as expected, plummeting out of the sky and down to earth and out of the top three, beaten out even by the film it nearly doubled last week, Tarsem Singh's Cinderella. Interconnected: 71,684,036 Fab 5: 20,684,337 Tarsem Singh's Cinderella: 15,647,208 Con Air 2: Terror In The Sky: 14,028,556 Trails Of Tears: 9,685,443 Elantris: 3,682,115 Paranoia: 2,843,117 Sarah's Surefire Cure For The Blues: 2,453,219 Spring Awakening: 2,218,567 The Adventures: 2,190,678 May 13-15: "Secret" To Success Secret Of Mana: The Journey Begins easily knocked out both the returning Interconnected and the disaster film opener Northwest Nightmare to take #1 with $44 million. Interconnected had a modest fall, staying above $30 million and in the top two, while Northwest Nightmare had a nightmare of an opening with $23 million. Secret Of Mana: The Journey Begins: 44,461,572 Interconnected: 31,882,299 Northwest Nightmare: 23,271,558 Fab 5: 8,182,296 Tarsem Singh's Cinderella: 7,782,105 Trails Of Tears: 6,128,332 Con Air 2: Terror In The Sky: 5,263,584 Elantris: 1,965,330 Paranoia: 1,705,638 Spring Awakening: 1,660,438 May 20-22: "Alien" Zaps "Birds" Sci-fi drama Alien-Nation soared over Birds Of A Feather, taking first place with a stupendous $46 million opening. Birds Of A Feather was a bit softer than expectations with $37 million, but the coming Memorial Day weekend should help it to stay aloft in its second frame. Secret Of Mana managed a sub-50% drop, bolstering sequel prospects (its expected excellent overseas performance should seal the deal), while Interconnected stemmed the bleeding and kept $200 million very much in play with a $19 million frame. Alien-Nation: 46,388,928 Birds Of A Feather: 37,672,138 Secret Of Mana: The Journey Begins: 23,905,664 Interconnected: 19,225,638 Northwest Nightmare: 7,065,325 Tarsem Singh's Cinderella: 4,322,115 Trails Of Tears: 3,896,706 Fab 5: 3,542,111 Con Air 2: Terror In The Sky: 2,405,484 The Adventures: 1,228,653 May 27-30: "Apocalypse" Now Apocalypse came out big over Memorial Day weekend, grabbing $138.8 million over the 4-day frame. This just narrowly missed beating out the record set by Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End, but the performance still beat all expectations and makes Apocalypse the film to beat this year. The weekend was also kind to holdovers Alien-Nation and Birds of a Feather, which saw sub-30% drops and came in second and third. Opener The Penny Jar was a bit softer than expected, posting a respectable $23 million to open its run. Apocalypse: 110,547,382 Alien-Nation: 33,961,724 Birds Of A Feather: 29,692,375 The Penny Jar: 18,253,216 Secret Of Mana: The Journey Begins: 13,005,668 Interconnected: 9,642,105 Northwest Nightmare: 3,361,283 Tarsem Singh's Cinderella: 2,905,446 Trails Of Tears: 2,793,431 Fab 5: 2,004,338 Apocalypse: 138,846,354 Alien-Nation: 42,056,438 Birds Of A Feather: 36,221,983 The Penny Jar: 22,876,449 Secret Of Mana: The Journey Begins: 16,843,119 Interconnected: 12,103,348 Northwest Nightmare: 4,218,336 Tarsem Singh's Cinderella: 3,789,543 Trails Of Tears: 3,591,280 Fab 5: 2,599,077 Edited December 20, 2011 by RySenkari 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RySenkari Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 June 3-5: Apocalypse Shuts Down Openers As expected, Apocalypse continued its reign at the top, grabbing nearly $50 million en route to its second straight #1 finish. The Ultimate Race spun out but still managed to take $30 million, while Nation was also a bit of a disappointment with $23 million. Alien-Nation had another strong hold, staying above $20 million and easily capturing fourth. Apocalypse: 49,669,548 The Ultimate Race: 30,706,883 Nation: 23,869,584 Alien-Nation: 21,643,847 Birds Of A Feather: 16,056,324 The Penny Jar: 8,845,435 Secret Of Mana: The Journey Begins: 6,548,323 Interconnected: 5,051,227 Trails Of Tears: 1,906,578 Tarsem Singh's Cinderella: 1,647,214 June 10-12: "Ducks" Stands Tall Sitting Ducks was no slouch, scoring a quacktacular $52 million and kicking Apocalypse out of the top spot. Apocalypse had to settle for second, scoring $25 million and racing past $250 million domestic. Pride And Prejudice and Zombies was a bit of a flameout, similarly to Snakes on a Plane, though $17 million is still nothing to scoff at. The two "Nations" both held well and round out the top five. Sitting Ducks: 52,271,600 Apocalypse: 25,448,679 Pride And Prejudice And Zombies: 17,846,518 Nation: 15,538,271 Alien-Nation: 13,865,933 The Ultimate Race: 11,432,189 Birds Of A Feather: 9,121,387 The Penny Jar: 5,062,224 Secret Of Mana: The Journey Begins: 3,532,117 Interconnected: 2,970,537 June 17-19: Not Such A Big Day For "Destructor" Day Of The Destructor, a sci-fi/disaster film that was tracking at $50 million plus headed into this weekend, scored a mere $36 million. That was still good for first over the holdover Sitting Ducks, but audiences weren't exactly thrilled with the special-effects laden film. The weekend's other two openers were equally modest, Pizza Man and Jane Loves Karen finished with pedestrian totals, with Jane Loves Karen smoozing up to seventh place. Day Of The Destructor: 36,574,860 Sitting Ducks: 29,861,238 Apocalypse: 15,771,895 Pizza Man: 10,214,385 Nation: 10,143,218 Alien-Nation: 9,543,117 Pride And Prejudice And Zombies: 8,283,459 Jane Loves Karen: 8,261,475 The Ultimate Race: 5,128,346 Birds Of A Feather: 4,995,630 June 24-26: "Light" And "Dark" In a battle of fairy fantasy and Tim Burton irreverence, Fairylight came out on top, though it was The Dark Victorian that may end up the real winner, grabbing a $40 million opening frame. Sitting Ducks fluttered gracefully into third as Day of the Destructor fell apart, collapsing out of the top three. Fairylight: 46,447,090 The Dark Victorian: 41,563,187 Sitting Ducks: 18,578,427 Day Of The Destructor: 12,385,690 Apocalypse: 11,432,555 Nation: 6,743,218 Pizza Man: 5,967,538 Alien-Nation: 5,831,240 Pride And Prejudice And Zombies: 4,763,109 Birds Of A Feather: 2,933,475 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Great for Sitting Ducks and Dark Victorian! Wow Nation disappointed and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies flopped. In CAYOM 1.0 is made 118.2M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RySenkari Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Nation's got pretty good legs and could get to $100 million. As for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, I thought that while it was definitely good, I'm not sure it could really find its audience in theaters. It'll be a huge DVD hit though.

Community Manager Water Bottle Posted December 20, 2011 Community Manager Share Posted December 20, 2011 Alien-Nation, a Close Encounters-type science fiction drama about a man whose obsession with alien technology drives him to be alienated from the world, is a comedy? That's news to me. :PExcellent run for Trails of Tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
