SATURDAY PM, 7TH UPDATE: It’s another huge weekend for the North American box office with $150M, or +25% from last year. Lionsgate’s humongous holdover The Hunger Games won the weekend domestically and internationally again despite two new major releases opening against it. Warner Bros/Legendary Pictures’ 3D action fantasy sequel Wrath Of The Titans failed to come close to the original’s grosses, while Relativity Media’s Snow White comedy Mirror Mirror failed to lure families. Both received ‘B+’ CinemaScores from audiences even if critics were at best lukewarm. Meanwhile, we now know how low Disney’s $200M writeoff John Carter will go: it will be lucky to reach $70M domestic. Starting its 4th weekend in release, this disaster is already discounted at Valley Plaza 6 in Van Nuys for $2 before 6 PM and $3 after.

This weekend’s Top 3 films (rest of Top 10 below)

1. The Hunger Games (Lionsgate) Week 2 [4,137 Theaters] PG13-RatedFriday $18.8M, Saturday $26.2M, Weekend $63.5M (-59%), Cume $253.5M

2. Wrath Of The Titans 3D (Legendary/Warner) NEW [3,545 Theaters] PG13-RatedFriday $12.4M, Saturday $13M, Weekend $34.6M

About expected.

So about 62-64m for the weekend then? Bummer can't say I wasn't expecting more. Thought it would hit 65 for sure. Guess it still could if Sat is a bit higher.

She will bump that number to 32M and then 2 hours later she will drop it to 19.2M.Nikki and her sources were about as accurate as blind monkeys trying to hit a fucking dart board yesterday.

Expected for THG, better than expected for WoTT, worse than expected for Mirror Mirror.

You're really leaving just because THG won't cross 450m?

Don't go! That was a stupid heat of the moment thing that no one even took seriously! Besides there's still hope for 400 which would still be a massively awesome achievement for it. Edited April 1, 2012 by MovieMan89

I keep my word, its how Ive always been. Unfortunately this was one of my dumber bets.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Well 63m is right where I expected it for the weekend, but still, after last night's 24m debacle all I can think is "fuck this".

[Dementeleus]

Ridiculous.

[Noctis]

I keep my word, its how Ive always been. Unfortunately this was one of my dumber bets.

Or maybe you could just stay?

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT WRATH OF THE TITANS DID NOT HIT 40M; IT IS OBVIOUSLY A GREAT MOVIE AND THE NUMBERS ARE A LETDOWN. THAT SAID, I HOPE AND EXPECT THAT THE OVERSEAS NUMBERS CAN ASSURE A 3RD MOVIE.
