With only 2 new movies opening over the weekend there wasn’t a lot of shake up in the top 5 and I don’t see “The LEGO Movie” losing the top spot any time soon. Maybe in the last half of March. The two newcomers were “3 Days to Kill” and “Pompeii” the former being a Costner flick directed by McG and the latter Jon Snow in a Paul W.S. Anderson movie. Neither of these were expected to do great things.
- The LEGO Movie: $31.3 million in its 3rd week pushing the total domestic gross to $183 million
- 3 Days to Kill: $12.2 million for the opener but reviews are not promising.
- Pompeii: $10.3 million for the disaster “history” flick. I doubt it makes up the $100 million budget.
- Robocop: A 55% drop off in week two puts this one at $9.8 million and $44 million for the total domestic gross.
- The Monuments Men: Into its 3rd week at $7.9 million Monuments Men is starting to drop out of theaters.
March will pick up a bit for box office competition and then starting in April things will get crazy.
