Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Lorax' Beats 'John Carter'


This weekend, all industry experts were predicting a bad opening for the Taylor Kitsch starring movie, John Carter.  The estimates were downgraded to a $25M opening weekend just before the weekend got here.

And so be it...   As expected, The Lorax did win the box office Top-10 list for the weekend, pulling in an estimated $39M for the weekend.

But John Carter wasn't too far behind, having pulled in an estimated $30M.  Overseas, John Carter pulled in an additional $70M.  Not incredible, but I'm glad to see Disney pulling some money back for their investment.

Aside from these two top-10 movies nothing else compared.  But if you must know, Project X was third at the box office, pulling in $11M.

Silent House pulled in $7M in its opening weekend and A Thousand Words with Eddie Murphy, saw some $6M added to it's opening day coffers.
