Real Steel scores knockout. Ides left with excuses.
…
1. Real Steel
2. The Ides Of March
The film claims is was cheaply made, was an adult drama, the excuses are endless. The reality is that its a low opening for a film of this caliber. Film will need to develop some serious legs over the next few weeks to even be relevant. Not very likely to happen.
3. A Dolphin Tale
…
4. Moneyball
Prediction: 9.2 million. Actual: 7.4 million. Made it interesting…
Film did keep the gap close with A Dolphin Tale but then lost in the end. Remains to be seen if the film can continue to generate Oscar buzz.
…
5. Courageous
Respectable hold but didn’t beat Fireproof’s second week drop of only 41 percent (this had a 46 percent drop). This allowed 50/50 to take the #5 spot with 5.6 million. Still, considering how the film was only produced for only 2 million dollars, you have to continue like these numbers.
Until next time,
Sensei White Lotus
