So it seems that The Kung Fu Kid (lets be accurate here) beat expectations of bringing in a more regular amount this weekend, bringing in a great haul of $56 million. Audience approval will lead the film on to get around $130 million by the end of its run. The same success can not be expected of The A-Team, which far from disappointed with $26 million this weekend. The film doesn't stand much of a chance of retaining audiences in the coming weeks, leading to an unsatisfying conclusion of $75 million.
As for holdovers, Shrek 4 got $15 million, bringing its total to 210 million. Expect the film to take an extreme fall next weekend when Toy Story 3 robs it of its 3D screens and target demographic. Get Him to the Greek took a regular fall of %42.5, gathering 10 million out of the weekend. Expect it to finish around $60 million, just below Forgetting Sarah Marshall's haul. In limited release, Winter's Bone brought $85,000 from four theatres, racking up to a per theatre average of $21,00, the best this weekend. Overall, this weekend was up from the same weekend last year when The Hangover and Up continued their long standing tussle.
