As expected Kick-Ass is #1


As expected, Comic-book turned movie with unknown lead star tops the Box Office this weekend making 19million but just barely beating out How to Train Your Dragon which also made 19million. Seems disappointing the hype around the movie was intense I was sure the movie would crack a high 50million low 30million debut its far from the blockbuster it was painted to be.

Death at a Funeral made a modest opening at #4 with over 16million, the other two movies released last weekend werent as lucky as The Perfect Game and The Joneses debut at #17 & 18 with just over 500k each, both films appealed to two totally different audiences but the numbers lead one to think they left one and went to see the other immediately after.
