Is there anything left to say about Avatar
at this point? It'll be the highest grossing domestic film of all-time by the end of the week. It's already the highest grossing film worldwide of all-time. And now it's surpassed the $2B benchmark. 2. Edge of Darkness- $17.1M
Kindof a lukewarm reception to Mel Gibson's first starring role in 8 years.Surprising, considering the success of Taken
, which also featured a middle aged action hero seeking revenge for his daughter. Hard to say whether or not this has anything to do with Gibson's off camera comments from a few years ago, but that didn't stop his two directorial efforts from success. 3. When in Rome- $12.1M
3rd place is too high for a film that had arguably the worst marketing I've ever seen. All you guys out there who got dragged to this, I'm sure it's been a rough couple of weeks. You probably got yanked into seeing Leap Year
, too, didn't you? 4. Tooth Fairy- $10M/$26.1M
$8 of that $26.1M total is mine. Pity me.
5. The Book of Eli- $8.77M/$74.4M
A pretty average drop, an average box office tally, for a slightly above average film.
6. Legion- $6.8M/$28.6M
Ouch. Somebody must've shot the wings of those angels, because Legion crashed and burned, losing 61% this week. Ouch.
7. The Lovely Bones
- $4.74M/$38M Well, Peter Jackson's adaptation of the book isn't quite dead yet. It's somewhere In-Between.
8. Sherlock Holmes
- $4.51M/$198M 9. Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel
- $4M/$209M 10. It's Complicated
- $3.72M/$104M
