I was correct to say that one of the family matinee films would take #1 this week, but I had the wrong one. Dolphin Tale leapt from third to first this weekend, while The Lion King did the exact opposite. Moneyball was in second place both weeks.
The four new films finished 4-5-6-8. Yes, you read that last number correctly. What's Your Number finished an embarrasing 8th. It was in 3000 theaters, but took in only $5.6 million. If you're a screenwriter, Ana Faris desperately needs a good script.
The only new film which encountered good luck was Courageous, which took fifth place despite being on less than half as many screens as the big releases. The faith-based cop film easily won the "gross per theater" category with $7500, far ahead of the second place finisher, The Lion King, which grossed $4700 per theater.
