BOX OFFICE - USA - Friday 30th January 2009
2009-01-31 19:06:12
Friday saw a couple of new films enter the market place, although the overall box office tally was about the same as last Friday.
The number one film for Friday is the Liam Neeson action flick, TAKEN, earning an estimated $9.3M. This film had been released in other territories months before this US release, but nonetheless, it has opened strongly and will likely have a strong weekend.
The number two film for Friday is another new opener, THE UNINVITED with an estimated $4.3M. It should have a decent opening over the weekend.
Returning films PAUL BLART: MALL COP and GRAN TORINO saw more good returns, with $4.15M and $$2.6M respectively. The latter has now crossed the $100M barrier and will likely become Clint Eastwood's biggest earner soon.
UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS crashed back in to fifth spot with $2.5M. This film is following the trajectory of its predecessors, but has earned enough to possibly warrant another sequel/prequel.
NEW IN TOWN is the last new opener in the top 10, earning an estimated $2.4M. The remaining films include SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE ($2.3M), HOTEL FOR DOGS ($2M), MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3-D ($1.5M), and BRIDE WARS ($1.2M).
The North American box office in total took in $32.3 million for the whole of Friday 30th January 2009.
