Green Hornet Wins Box Office In Better Than Initially Thought Finish

With data now in for half of the four-day holiday weekend, it appears that The Green Hornet
will finish the frame slightly stronger than initially expected.
According to studio estimates, the Seth Rogen superhero movie won the
three-day weekend with $34 million. That’s the third-highest January
debut ever, following 2008′s Cloverfield and the 1997 re-release of Star Wars.
The $110 million action film is on pace for an estimated four-day
harvest of $40.5 million, which would rank as the second-best Martin
Luther King, Jr. weekend opening (also after Cloverfield). The
Sony release predictably skewed male, with 61 percent of the audience
sporting a Y chromosome, and 3-D screens accounted for 69 percent of the
film’s business.

Universal’s The Dilemma
snatched second place with a three-day tally of $17.4 million. If
estimates hold, it’ll be star Vince Vaughn’s worst opening since 2001′s Domestic Disturbance
for a movie debuting in at least 1,000 theaters. The $70 million
comedy, which attracted an audience that was 60 percent female, is
heading for an estimated four-day figure of $20.7 million. True Grit
slid only 23 percent to lasso $11.2 million. Taking its four-day
estimate of $13.3 million into consideration, the Coen brothers’ Western
should boost its cumulative gross to $128.5 million by Monday night. The King’s Speech,
which expanded into 1,543 theaters this weekend, rose a regal 41
percent for a three-day take of $9.1 million (and a four-day estimate of
$10.9 million). Not far behind in fifth place was Black Swan,
which spun a three-day total of $8.1 million. The Natalie Portman
thriller should finish the holiday frame with a cumulative gross just
under $75 million. Check back here on Monday for the complete box office
report.
Here are the three-day studio estimates (with four-day estimates in parentheses):

1. The Green Hornet — $34.0 mil ($40.5 mil)
2. The Dilemma — $17.4 mil ($20.7 mil)
3. True Grit — $11.2 mil ($13.3 mil)
4. The King’s Speech — $9.1 mil ($10.9 mil)
5. Black Swan — $8.1 mil ($9.8 mil)

I cant wait to see it. Serial said it was a good movie.
