Quicksort Wrote:Have a look at Lemony Snicket's second week in release and you'll see the same thing. Maybe it's good word of mouth or maybe it's that people are less busy this week than last.

Given the fact that Snickets opened at roughly 50% of TRON's opening take, did not get nearly as good audience approval, and had not nearly as much crossover appeal -- from children to adults -- I am not sure that's a good comparison?

Yes, Snickets had a better second week than its first week, but then it positively tanked in week 3.

We'll know if the comparison is apt by this time next week I guess -- I think TRON Legacy will have far stronger legs.

They had last week off too.

It MIGHT have been the awful weather. In any case, it shows there were more people who wanted to see Tron so that's a good thing.

Friday estimates:

1. True Grit (2010) $8,186,000
2. Little Fockers $7,765,000
3. Tron Legacy $5,025,000

Tron's still holing up well considering it's in it's 3rd week versus the other movies, but with how well it was doing over the week I actually expected it to stay around 6m. Maybe it'll get a significant bump on Saturday. We'll see. In any case, worldwide BO is now at: $183,073,000.

I'm not too worried about Tron being at #3, but Fockers being #1 for multiple days just makes me sad for America :/

What's worse is that I know of people taking their kids (10 and under) to go see that instead of TRON...

Now that's REALLY sad...

Tron Legacy still going strong. This makes me happy indeed Slowly getting closer to seeing a third film... I have my fingers crossed!

The only thing coming out in the near future that I can even see competing is the Green Hornet, and even that is iffy. http://boxofficemojo.com/schedule/

Oh yes, kids love superheroes now more than ever.

IMO Green Hornet, Green Lantern and Thor all look horrible. I could never get into superhero movies. Do kids even read those types of comic books anymore?

The problem with both Hornet and Lantern is that neither project seems to have been taken seriously. They're aiming for slap-stick and goofball humor when both franchises should be, in my opinion, handled with much more gravity. Now, sometimes it can work. Not saying it's impossible. I just don't see that either of these demanded a live-action movie at this time, and certainly not the sort of live-action films being delivered, with cut-up jokes and other debris strewn in place of plotting or drama.

I'm worried about Green Hornet but Michel Gondry is directing so that could be interesting. Green Lantern I'm really worried about. The only DC hero I'm really into, but something about the movie looked a little cheap and the female lead seems very wooden. We'll see. I think they are going for an Iron Man vibe except it wasn't funny. I think Thor could go either way. It looks visually impressive, at least.

Back to the Box Office a bit, Tron has now made $110m overseas. That brings the total worldwide box office to around 241m.
