Box-Office Wrap-Up: Mar. 4 – Mar. 6, 2011

I don’t have a lot of time this morning to elaborate on each release so I apologize for rushing through this week’s results. Hopefully you’ll be able to fill in the blanks in the comments where I leave off.
Laremy predicted the #1 movie correctly 2 Weeks In A Row
It seems the reactions to this one have all been quite positive, and most are coming out with the same reaction I had, that the chemistry between Matt Damon and Emily Blunt is the main attraction. If this one ends up doing well I wonder if more actors of the A-list variety will try and get back to to the kind of films the likes of Cary Grant, James Stewart, Katharine Hepburn and Audrey Hepburn were making way back when.
Result: $20.9 million

Laremy’s rank: Laremy picked it to finish #2 with $26.13 million, which is $5.23m off for a 25.02% error.
If you go by Laremy’s prediction this one overperformed. I tend to believe that’s exactly what this film did, and it makes me wonder if Alex Pettyfer now has a shot at being an American star.
Result: $10.1 million

Laremy’s rank: Laremy picked it to finish #7 with $6.27 million, which is $3.83m off for a 37.92% error.
Only a 33% dip for this one. What, are people actually digging it or is it that need to fill the raunchy comedy slot in your lives that kept it going strong?
Result: $9 million

Laremy’s rank: Laremy picked it to finish #8 with $6.09 million, which is $2.91m off for a 32.33% error.
Gnomeo is up to $83 million, I wonder what the budget on this long-in-development project was? It seems as if that would be a success, but it took so long to come together it may just breaking even.
Result: $6.9 million

Laremy’s rank: Laremy picked it to finish #4 with $8.37 million, which is $1.47m off for a 21.3% error.
I have nothing to add here.
Result: $6.6 million

Laremy’s rank: Laremy picked it to finish #5 with $6.91 million, which is $0.31m off for a 4.7% error.
Had it not been for Charlie Sheen stealing the Oscar Best Picture winner’s press I wonder if this one would have done better.
Result: $6.501 million

Laremy’s rank: Laremy picked it to finish #3 with $10.38 million, which is $3.879m off for a 59.67% error.
Up to $88 million and it looks like this Sandler comedy is going to struggle to hit $100 million. What do you know? Perhaps past junk projects do catch up to.
Result: $6.5 million

Laremy’s rank: Laremy picked it to finish #10 with $5.58 million, which is $0.92m off for a 14.15% error.
And once again I get to mourn the fact I will probably never see a sequel to this film. Oh well, I guess I can just read what happens later this year.
Result: $5.7 million

Laremy’s rank: Laremy picked it to finish #6 with $6.45 million, which is $0.75m off for a 13.16% error.
Wow, Universal’s Take Me Home Tonight didn’t even make the top ten, coming in at #11 with $3.5 million, but hey, at least it beat Drive Angry‘s $2.1 million second weekend. Ha, Summit must be upset at that one.
Result: $4.3 million

Laremy’s rank: Laremy picked it to finish #9 with $5.63 million, which is $1.33m off for a 30.93% error.

So there you have it. Leave some comments below and what do you think, Battle: Los Angeles or Red Riding Hood next week at #1… and with how much?
