As predicted, The Expendables still holds strong to the top spot but I was surprised that Vampires Suck even hit the top 5. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, as I have lost faith in the viewing audience anyways. Shame on you viewing audience.
Boxoffice Mojo has the estimates.
The Expendables – $16,500,000 – 2wks
Vampires Suck – $12,200,000 – Opening
Eat Pray Love – $12,000,000 – 2wks
Lottery Ticket – $11,125,000 – Opening
The Other Guys – $10,100,000 – 3wks
Vampires Suck appears to have edged out Eat Pray Love, and while that uber chick flick barely registered on my radar, I would sooner see more films than that in the boxoffice lead than the recent trend of Spoof films. I haven’t seen it yet, but the trailer was full of dead horse beating gags and one clever line. Maybe its better than the rest. I don’t know yet.
But this is just the estimates and there is a really really tiny margin that Vampires Suck has over the number 2 spot. Maybe it won’t keep it once the final numbers are in.
Sadly Scott Pilgrim got pushed all the way down to the number 10 spot behind Inception’s sixth week showing in the top 10.
Other notable openers this weekend were Piraha 3D peeking just outside the top 5 with its number 6 spot, beating out Nanny McPhee Returns (which will probably do better on DVD anyways)
What did you see this weekend?
