Weekend Receipts: The Lorax Sends a very, Very Eco-friendly Message

Just what a weekend for Dr. Seuss's The Lorax: The eco tinged adaptation increased being the newest in the beloved author's film spinoffs to capture the most effective box-office perch. Meanwhile, the raunchy Project X settled in quietly behind it, producing roughly One Dollar per topless scene in order to second place. Your Weekend Receipts are here. 1. Dr. Seuss's The Lorax Gross: $70,700,000 (new) Screens: 3,729 (PSA $18,960) Days: 1 What exactly can I believe that? A period is indoctrinated left! Lou Dobbs will probably be annoyed! Malia Obama for leader in 2036! 2. Project X Gross: $20,775,000 (new) Screens: 3,055 (PSA $6,800) Days: 1 Much less bad a dent or dimple for your considerably reviled bit of mayhem within the mind of Todd Phillips - but sufficient for just about any follow-up? Project Y, going to DVD and Blu-ray with the holidays? Hell, the means by which these items are shot, maybe by Memorial Day. 3. Act of Valor Gross: $13,700,000 ($45,239,000) Screens: 3,053 (PSA: $4,487) Days: 2 (Change: -44%) The Navy Shuts-against-the-world propaganda exercise organized reasonably well within the second week, creating next weekend's crucial Lorax versus. Valor ideology face-off for fourth place - and even perhaps third place, taking into consideration the smallish release for Eddie Murphy's A Thousand Words. Place your bets. Or I am in a position to just wake you when it's April, your call. 4. Safe House Gross: $7,200,000 ($108,200,000) Screens: 2,533 (PSA $2,820) Days: 4 (Change: -34.1%) I am in a position to only think about the rear-and-forth between Denzel Washington's WME team and Ryan Reynolds's CAA crew today simply because they find it hard to take primary credit for stars' stunning collaborative success. Essentially would never know far better, I'd just attribute the whole phenomenon to Harvey Weinstein, because what triumphs hasn't he wrought in the last seven days? 5. Tyler Perry's Good Deeds Gross: $7,000,000 ($25,745,000) Screens: 2,132 (PSA $3,283) Days: 2 (Change: -55.1%) Tyler Perry is not otherwise consistent, on course for the next mid-$Thirty Dollars million artist sans the Madea muumuu. He'd reason why a wider release would sweeten el born area office, too for that certain particularly I'd agree - though I'd rather simply see him split the franchise difference and attempt Why Did I Acquired Married 3-D. They have The Rock inside the series now! Seriously, blockbuster city. [Figures via Box Office Mojo] Follow S.T. VanAirsdale on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.
