Box Office Report April 10-12: Hannah Sings and Dances Her Way To Number 1!
Teen sensation Miley Cyrus a.k.a. Hannah Montana, went back to her roots in the new film ‘Hannah Montana: The Movie’ and found herself at the top spot at the box office. Little girls packed the theaters and brought in an opening weekend total of $34 million for the teen icon. Seth Rogan and the much anticipated film ‘Observe and Report’ opened to lukewarm response this weekend. The second mall-cop comedy managed to arrest over $11 million dollars from moviegoers this weekend and secure the #4 spot. This weekend’s disappointment ‘Dragonball Evolution’, Anime transitioned to the big screen. Hard cord sci-fi fantasy fans could only scrape together $4.6 million (good enough for 8th place). Here is how the rest of this weekends films fared:
- Hannah Montana: The Movie                                              $34,000,000
- Fast And Furious                                                                    $28,783,000
- Monsters Vs. Aliens                                                              $22,617,000
- Observe And Report                                                             $11,140,000
- Knowing                                                                                     $ 6,670,000
- I Love You, Man                                                                     $ 6,412,000
- The Haunting in Conneticut                                                $ 5,710,000
- Dragonball Evolution                                                            $ 4,650,000
- Adventureland                                                                        $ 3,433,000
- Duplicity                                                                                     $ 2,997,000
Next week will Hannah be able to “hold that note” and keep the top spot? Or will the public realize that they are missing out on a really good comedy and move Rogan and Observe and report up the charts. Jason Statham’s high-voltage sequel ‘Crank 2″ may have something to say about who claims the top spot. Zac Efrom’s ’17 Again’ and Russell Crowe’s ‘State of play’ also open this weekend. I will see you at the theater!
