Hollywood B.O.: Lame “Hop” still outjumps “Arthur,” “Hanna,” “Your Highness” and the “Soul Surfer”
Eesh. Not a good weekend for new movies. Four opened, but none came within half of the second weekend of “Hop,” which still dropped 42.2%.
Here's how the top six fared by gross, via boxofficemojo.com, with the four new films in yellow:
Title |
Studio | Weekend Gross | % Change | Theater Count / Change | Average | Total Gross | |
Hop | Uni. | $21,696,000 | -42.2% | 3,616 | +37 | $6,000 | $68,152,000 |
Arthur (2011) | WB | $12,605,000 | - | 3,276 | - | $3,848 | $12,605,000 |
Hanna | Focus | $12,323,000 | - | 2,535 | - | $4,861 | $12,323,000 |
Soul Surfer | TriS | $11,100,000 | - | 2,214 | - | $5,014 | $11,100,000 |
Insidious | FD | $9,740,000 | -26.6% | 2,419 | +11 | $4,026 | $27,097,000 |
Your Highness | Uni. | $9,520,000 | - | 2,769 | - | $3,438 | $9,520,000 |
Among the newbies, “Arthur” prevailed, barely, but it was also the movie playing in the most theaters. Take theater average and it's ladies first: “Soul Surfer,” then “Hanna,” then “Arthur,” and—last no matter how you slice it—“Your Highness.”
RT numbers are bad on all of these, although “Hannah” almost makes the cut. IMDb numbers are bad on all of these but “Hannah” and ... “Your Highness”? Really?
Title |
RT% (top critics) |
IMDb.com rating |
Arthur (2011) | 25% |
4.6 |
Hanna | 57% |
8.1 |
Soul Surfer | 38% |
5.5 |
Your Highness | 10% |
6.3 |
Does this mean “Your Highness” delivers for its core audience, which is small and stoned? It'll be interesting to see how the films fall off next weekend. Or by how much “Your Highness”'s IMDb numbers fall off.
Miserable.
On the plus side, “Sucker Punch” shed half its theaters and is already out of the top 10.
