I've been waiting such a long time for this day when Avatar would no longer constantly remind me of the low intelligence of the greater portion of the world today. The fact that the film has brought in 2 billion worldwide makes me depressed. And what film is the cause of all this? Dear John, another romance from the writer of The Notebook. Going into the weekend I thought that it didn't really have a chance, but it seems I was wrong. I still don't plan on seeing it any time soon, but I would personally like to put a huge thank you out to everyone who did see it. The soundtrack of my life is playing Hall and Oates right now (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgVNgYXFi_Q).
So as far as numbers go, Dear John brought in 32.4 million this weekend, so expect it to go on to a total gross just over $80 million. Avatar stumbled down to $23.6 million and currently holds a total gross of $630 million. John Travolta's action film, From Paris With Love failed to put up any truly inspiring numbers with $8.1 million. Crazy Heart, after expanding to over 800 theatres, brought in a modest $3.7 million. Up in the Air, and The Blind Side benfited from their respective Oscar nominations, both bringing in just over $2.6 million. Precious' Oscar nominations and subsequent re-expansion unfortunately failed to attract enough attention to bring in as big of a total, just crawling out of the weekend with $440 thousand. An Education's expansion fared far better, bringing in nearly $1 million from 761 locations.
