Happy Easter, movie fans. Well, it was
Horton who received a big golden Easter egg this weekend from the box office, as
Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who! won at the box office for the second weekend in a row, as most everyone predicted. Horton finished with $25 million while
Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns did the best among new releases at $20 million. Again, no real surprises.
Shutter did a little better than expected at $10.7 million, while
Drillbit Taylor flopped with everyone at $10.2 million. That is the second box office disappointment for Judd Apatow in a row (after
Walk Hard). He better watch it. The rest of the top ten went pretty much as predicted but there was a surprise in tenth place as
Under the Same Moon, from the Weinstein Company, snuck in there in tenth spot even though it was in only 266 theaters! But it made almost $10,000 per theater. The movie about a Mexican who finds work in the USA (America Ferrera from
Ugly Betty) and who seeks to be reunited with the son she left behind in Mexico, debuted last Wednesday and made $2,602,000 this weekend, and $3,329,000 overall. Not bad for a Spanish-language film. That result knocked
Doomsday to 11th at $2,180,000.Here are the totals courtesy of Box Office Mojo.1 Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who! $25,100,0002 Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns $20,010,0003 Shutter $10,700,0004 Drillbit Taylor $10,200,0005 10,000 B.C. $8,660,0006 Never Back Down $4,861,0007 College Road Trip $4,630,0008 The Bank Job $4,100,0009 Vantage Point $3,800,00010 Under the Same Moon $2,602,000 That’s all for now.
