This weekend another long-awaited blockbuster, the Pixar animated film «Up» that, despite criticism saying that an elderly character was not going to attract children to the movies, has raised $ 20 million on its first day at the box office so everything suggests that its first weekend box office will exceed $ 60 million. An excellent figure.
On the other hand, the films that do not raise their heads are Angels and Demons that only grossed 3,4 million more for a total of 96, in its third week in theaters, a very poor figure when it comes to a production of 150 million dollars without counting the promotional expenses.
But things are worse for the new terminator sequel that in its second week it descends to 4º position with five million of collection for a sum of 79 when its budget has been of 200 million dollars without counting advertising expenses. In this way, it may be that there will be no new Terminator sequel in a long time.
Things are better for the sequel to Night at the Museum, which in its second week, is placed in 2nd position collecting 7,5 million making a total figure of 87 million dollars. Its budget has been 150 million dollars, which will be more or less what it collects in the USA, so with its collection in the rest of the world there will be many benefits and it may also be that we have a third part.
Drag Me to Hell, the new horror movie from director Sam Raimi (Spiderman), enters 3rd place, making $ 6,4 million. It's nothing to write home about, but horror movies are cheap and usually raise a lot of money.
Tomorrow I will tell you more having all the collection data of the weekend in the USA.
