Box Office Report March 20-22: Nick Cage “Knows” How To Eliminate The Bro-mance!
Nicholas Cage and his new thriller ‘Knowing’ were able to add up the digits and pull a $24 million dollar opening weekend and debut at #1 at the box office. ‘Knowing’ was able to dominate the other two films opening over the weekend, the “bro-mantic” comedy ‘I Love You Man’ and the Roberts/ Owens who-dunnit ‘Duplicity, which finished in second and third respectively. Watchmen continued it’s downward spiral to 5th and will probably fall from the top 10 next week. Here is how the competition stacked up for the weekend:
- Knowing                                            $24,814,000
- I Love You, Man                            $18,005,000
- Duplicity                                           $14,402,000
- Race To Witch Mountain            $13,004,000
- Watchmen                                        $ 6,725,000
- Last House On The Left                $ 5,921,000
- Taken                                                  $ 4,100,000
- Slumdog Millionaire                    $ 2,700,000
- Madea Goes To Jail                       $ 2,510,000
- Coraline                                             $ 2,143,000
We will have to see if Cage “Knows” how to stay on top or if Rudd and Segel can man-date their way to the top. There will also be some new players next weekend when the  ‘Monsters vs. Aliens’ battle and the spooky ‘A Haunting in Conneticut’ open. John Cena will also be wrestling for respect with the latest WWE flick ’12 Rounds’ this weekend. I’m pulling for the Dreamworks slobberknocker and Monsters vs. Aliens to pull in a big number!
