The only real story of the week is that the Jonas Brothers fizzled. Based on a lively pre-sale market, the experts were expecting something similar to the Hannah Montana phenomenon. Never happened. The final gross barely exceeded a third of expectations.Taken, Paul Blart, and Slumdog took up a little of the slack by exceeding expectations. Taken has now passed $100 million, Blart is over $125, and Slumdog is around $115. Slumdog went up again, and not just because of additional theaters. Its average per theater also increased!
Despite the disappointing results from the presumed leader, the week still beat last year by about 9%. Every week of this year has produced an incrase.
