Box Office Report: 'Dragon' kills 'The Back-up Plan'

It looks like people took my advice and for the most part, avoided the cineplex's this weekend. It was still a decent weekend at the box-office. How to Train Your Dragon came out on top on its fifth weekend in theatres with $15 million, beating The Back-up Plan which mustered up only $12 million on its first weekend. Kick-Ass took a steep 50% drop from last weekend, bring in just under $10 million, and making box-office prospects for the rest of its run bleak. The Losers did slightly better, bring in $100,000 more than Kick-Ass, but ultimately still a weak opening.

The rest of the films took modest drops from last weekend, with Date Night bringing in $11 million, and Clash of the Titans taking away $9 million for the weekend. Expect box office results for next weekend to be more promising with the release of A Nightmare on Elm Street.
