- $61.4MThe Kraken wasn't just released, he roared at the box office for Warner Bros. this Easter weekend. Despite negative reviews and almost overwhelmingly poor response to the 3-D presentation, approximately 52% of Clash's total came from 3-D screens. Somebody needs to start a chart tracking how many ask for their money back after lackluster 3-D screenings. It's expected that once How to Train Your Dragon and Alice in Wonderland finally give up their hold on their 3-D theaters, Clash's box office tally may jump once again.
2. Why Did I Get Married, Too
?- $30.1M Apparently more people are asking that question themselves, since Tyler Perry's sequel has exceeded the debut weekend of the 2007 hit original. Exit stats reveal that approximately 80% of the audience was African-American. No numbers yet on how many of those people realize they've been watching the same Tyler Perry movie for about ten years now.
3. How to Train Your Dragon
- $29.2M/$92.3M Last week's champeen dropped a mere 33%, thanks mostly in part to the fact that more than half of it's theaters continue to be in 3-D. Maybe it's me but I'm seeing this total as something of a disappointment.
4. The Last Song
- $16.2M/$25.6M Exit stats indicate that 80% of this film's audience, starring Miley Cyrus venturing away from Hannah Montana for the first time in a major role, was female. And bears crap in the woods. The Last Song debuted on Wednesday, getting a jump on it's competitors, and held up fairly well. It was sortof a perfect storm, though. Obviously Cyrus herself was a draw with the younger audience, but it was the name Nicholas Sparks that I think drew in the older crowd.
5. Alice in Wonderland
- $8.27M/$310M 6. Hot Tub Time Machine
- $8M/$27.8M Remember that episode of Seinfeld when Kramer fell asleep in his hot tub and the heater broke? It really has nothing to do with this movie, except that I imagine the studio is feeling like they might've been in the hot tub a little too long themselves at this point. Disappointing.
7. The Bounty Hunter
- $6.2M/$49M 8. Diary of a Wimpy Kid
- $5.53M/$46.2M 9. She's Out of My League
- $1.46M/$28.7M 10. Shutter Island
- $1.46M/$123M
