This wasn’t a very good weekend for new movies. All of the new releases were outgrossed by older carryovers. In first place, ‘The Butler’ added another $17 million to its haul, bringing it a ten-day total of $52.2 million. Even comedy ‘We’re the Millers’ earned another $13.5 million, pushing it only $8.3 million away from the $100 million mark.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, ‘The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones<\/strong>‘ debuted in the #3 spot with a measly $9.3 million over the actual weekend. The film’s Wednesday debut gave it an unimpressive five-day total of $14 million. The teen franchise hopeful is hardly on its way to filling the void left by ‘Harry Potter’ or ‘Twilight’. With this kind of start, we may not see any more of the ‘Mortal Instruments’ novels adapted to the big screen.<\/p>\n Edgar Wright’s third film in the unofficial “Three Flavours Cornetto” trilogy warranted the best domestic opening of the new releases. On just 1,549 screens, ‘The World’s End<\/strong>‘ pulled in $8.9 million. The apocalyptic comedy has already earned $16 million from overseas markets, several of which debuted the movie weeks ago. To give it some perspective, the per-screen average for ‘The World’s End’ was higher than any other film in the Top 10.<\/p>\n Lionsgate’s horror picture ‘You’re Next<\/strong>‘ failed to capitalize on the success of other recent scary titles. Opening in the #7 spot with $7 million, the home invasion thriller not only broke the genre’s upward trend, but featured the lowest opening for a widely released horror flick in 2013.<\/p>\n The wide expansion of Woody Allen’s ‘Blue Jasmine<\/strong>‘ proved to be a wise studio decision. Climbing to 1,200 screens, the Cate Blanchette vehicle rose into the Top 10, finishing the weekend in the #9 spot. Its impressive $4.3 million weekend pushed the film’s domestic haul up to $14.8 million.<\/p>\n Wong Kar-Wai’s ‘The Grandmaster<\/strong>‘ pulled in $132,300 from just seven screens, for a per-screen average of $18,900. The opening weekend numbers for ‘Drinking Buddies<\/strong>‘ have yet to be announced.<\/p>\n 1. ‘Lee Daniels’ The Butler’ (Weinstein) – $17,018,000<\/p>\n 2. ‘We’re the Millers’ (Warner Bros.) – $13,500,000<\/p>\n 3. ‘The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones’ (Screen Gems) – $9,300,000<\/p>\n 4. ‘The World’s End’ (Focus) – $8,942,000<\/p>\n 5. ‘Planes’ (Buena Vista) – $8,567,000<\/p>\n 6. ‘Elysium’ (Sony) – $7,100,000<\/p>\n 7. ‘You’re Next’ (Lionsgate) – $7,050,000<\/p>\n 8. ‘Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters’ (Fox) – $5,200,000<\/p>\n 9. ‘Blue Jasmine’ (Sony Pictures Classics) – $4,300,000<\/p>\n 10. ‘Kick-Ass 2’ (Universal) – $4,270,000<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This wasn’t a very good weekend for new movies.
