November 15, 2010Box-Office Wrap-Up: Megamind Conquers the Weekend; Unstoppable Closing In Fast Posted by Turk182 in Hound NewsMaybe the mostly positive reviews went to that big blue head of his, but it worked with audiences: Megamind again led the box office, earning the top spot for its second weekend with $30 million. Will Ferrell and company bring the film’s total earnings to $89 million … still a bit short for its $130 million budget, but certainly nothing to sneeze at. Meanwhile, Denzel Washington’s thrill ride Unstoppable earned a respectable second place in its opening weekend with $23.5 million. Also starring Chris Pine (Star Trek) and directed by Tony Scott (True Romance, Enemy of the State), Unstoppable looks to be a solid contender. Third place goes to Due Date; the Robert Downey, Jr./Zach Galifianakis buddy comedy, panned by critics, isn’t keep audiences away. It earned $15.5 million in its second week, bringing its total earnings to $59 million.
The fourth and fifth spots go to two more debuts this weekend, the sci-fi alien invasion flick Skyline and the J.J. Abrams-produced Morning Glory, respectively. Skyline earned the wrath of critics, but scored $11.7 million in ticket sales, while the Rachel MacAdams and Harrison Ford comedy garnered enough chemistry to earn $9.6 million. For Colored Girls dropped off 65%, from third to sixth, in its second week with $6.8 million, bringing the Tyler Perry drama to $30 million. Based on the Ntozake Shange play, the independent film has already earned back profit from its $21 million budget.
Audiences are still going strong to two more veterans of the board; the star-studded action-comedy Red turned in an extra $5.1 million for seventh place, giving it a healthy $79.8 million in its fifth week. In its fourth week, Paranormal Activity 2 scared up $3.1 million for eighth. This brings the Paramount low-budget shocker to $82 million; quite a feat for a film that made back its budget this weekend alone.
3-D rounds out the ninth and tenth spots. The seventh (and reportedly final) blood-splattered Saw film managed $2.8 million in its third week, surviving bad reviews from critics and audiences alike with $43 million in the bank, while the Jackass 3D crew garnered $2.3 in its fifth. Even at #10, the 3-D antics of Knoxville and gang have proven they can still draw a crowd; with a total of $114.7 million, it remains the top grosser on the list … in more ways than one.
