‘Puss in Boots’ dropped a mere 23% in its third weekend, bringing in another $25 million. The ‘Shrek’ spin-off hopped over the $100 million mark, but didn’t make enough to stop an epic underdog from taking first.
\n<\/p>\n
Predicted to debut with $20.5 million, ‘Immortals<\/strong>‘ blew past the competition to claim the #1 spot with $32 million. This gives Relativity Media its best-ever opening. ‘Immortals’ also earned big overseas bucks, with a worldwide opening box office total of $68 million. 66% of the action adventure’s revenue came from 3D showings.<\/p>\n As of now, Adam Sandler’s gender-bending comedy Jack and Jill<\/strong> has a $500,000 lead on ‘Puss in Boots’, but the two could easily flip when the final totals are announced this afternoon. With $26 million, ‘Jack and Jill’ opened half a million dollars above expectations.<\/p>\n Clint Eastwood’s bio-pic ‘J. Edgar<\/strong>‘ debuted right alongside studio predictions with $11.5 million. Despite premiering on Wednesday in select cities, the Leonardo DiCaprio vehicle failed to open on par with Eastwood’s other recent flicks.<\/p>\n Cannes award winner ‘Melancholia<\/strong>‘ featured a healthy opening with $265,000 on only 19 screens. With $50,800 on 12 screens, Werner Herzog’s latest documentary Into the Abyss<\/strong> didn’t open quite as strongly, but still did well.<\/p>\n In its fourth weekend, ‘Paranormal Activity 3<\/strong>‘ joined ‘Puss in Boots’ to cross the $100 million mark. Meanwhile, ‘The Three Musketeers<\/strong>‘ dropped out of the rankings with $495,000, which brings its four-week box office total to $19.1 million. Needless to say, that’s not too good for $75 million movie.<\/p>\n 1. ‘Immortals’ (Relativity) – $32,000,000<\/p>\n 2. ‘Jack and Jill’ (Sony) – $26,000,000<\/p>\n 3. ‘Puss in Boots’ (Paramount\/Dreamworks) – $25,500,000<\/p>\n 4. ‘Tower Heist’ (Universal) – $13,200,000<\/p>\n 5. ‘J.
