This weekend, the new movies that hit the box office Friday populated the 1st, 3rd and 5th place spots in the chart of top-10 movies.
According to estimates, The Grey with Liam Neeson will be the lead money maker in the top-10 movies by the time the weekend is over, pulling in $20 million in it’s opening weekend, dominating the other movies by almost double.
Trailing The Grey is a movie in its second week in movie theaters, Underworld: Awakening, which dropped by more than half from it’s opening weekend, will pull in an estimated $12.5M this weekend.
In third place in the charts is the new Katherine Heigl movie, One for the Money. Apparently Heigl doesn’t have the draw they’d like her to have and the movie only pulled in $11.7M in ticket sales in its first weekend out. Hmm, no wonder she dropped the soundbite about wanting to return to Grey’s Anatomy.
Outside the top-3 in 4th, is Red Tails with Cuba Gooding Jr.. Red Tails dropped nearly 50% from its opening weekend too and pulled in just over $10M. But still hung on to a spot in the list of top-10 movies.
The new movie Man on the Ledge starring Sam Worthington seemed to have very little draw compared to the other top-4 movies, pulling in an estimated $8M. Ouch.
