Box Office Report: 'Kick-Ass' flounders; 'Dragon' conquers

Kick-Ass didn't do nearly as well as expected this weekend, bringing in just over $19 million. Even more surprisingly, How to Train Your Dragon came out on top this weekend with less than $250,000 more than Kick-Ass. These estimates could easily change tomorrow, depending on how much postitive word of mouth traveled this weekend. What is certain is that if Kick-Ass hopes for a sequel to be announced then it will have to fight for it in the coming weeks.

As for the other releases, Date Night dropped 31% from it's opening, managing to edge out Death at a Funeral which opening at $17 million. Clash of the Titans continued it's downward trend, taking in less than $16 million this weekend. All other releases brought in less than $6 million, making this weekend less successful than the same weekend last year.
