Weekend Box Office Results for April 6-8, 2012

American Reunion and Titanic 3D disappointed, as they each brought in about 2/3 of their predicted amounts. The Hunger Games easily won the weekend and passed $300 million in 17 days. That's the 6th-fastest rise to $300M in history, but is nowhere near the record. The Dark Knight made it in 10 days! After 17 days, The Dark Knight had already grossed $393 million, compared to $302M for The Hunger Games.

Re American Reunion: "Easter weekend can be a tough time to open an R-rated movie. American Reunion's $21.5 million is actually the best R-rated Easter debut since Panic Room a decade ago. In comparison, the first three American Pie movies were all released in the Summer, which is prime real estate for raunchy R-rated fare."
