Box Office Report March 13-15: ‘Watchmen’ 1 week wonder… That’s what The Rock was cooking!
The former WWE star now known as Dwayne Johnson and his new Disney film ‘Race to Witch Mountain’ dethroned the Comic legends ‘The Watchmen’ for the top spot at the box office after only ONE WEEK. Race to Witch Mountain brought in over $24 million for the overall number one with Watchmen a distant second with $17 million. Thriller ‘Last House on the Left’ nearly missed number two bringing in an opening weekend total of $14 million. The loser of the week was the awful comedy ‘Miss March’ which open in tenth with a meager $2 million dollars, must have been all of Hef’s friends. Here is how the top 10 stacked up:
- Race To Witch Mountain                                   $24,402,000
- The Watchmen                                                       $17,817,000
- The Last House On The Left                              $14,118,000
- Taken                                                                          $ 6,568,000
- Madea Goes To Jail                                               $ 5,108,000
- Slumdog Millionaire                                             $ 5,002,000
- Paul Blart: Mall Cop                                               $ 3,119,000
- He’s Just Not That Into You                              $ 2,939,000
- Coraline                                                                     $ 2,718,000
- Miss March                                                               $ 2,409,000
This weekend should see a further tumble by The Watchmen and Rock…”don’t get comfortable on top of your mountain”. Next weekend has the Nicolas Cage thriller ‘Knowing’ and the Clive Owen/Julia Robert spy hoax Duplicity opening. The big bang of the weekend should come from ‘IÂ Love You Man’ with Jason Siegel and Paul Rudd (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) the funniest film of 2009 and a sure contender for the top spot next week!
