'10,000 BC' Wins Weekend, Bringing in $35.7 million Disney's "College Road Trip" ran out of steam, bowing a so-so 14 million, while Will Ferrell laffer "Semi-Pro" continued to miss the hoop, falling a steep 62% in its second frame.
Though hopes for the Rolland Emmerich-helmed "10,000 BC" rose as high as $40 million-plus, the pic's perf ended up right in line with studio expectations. No one expected the Warner Film prehistoric adventure epic to come close to the $71 million debut mounted by "300" over the same weekend last year.
If "10,000 BC" holds well, it could end up topping $100 million domestically, though predominantly negative reviews may foretell a weak hold. Pic opened strongly overseas, however, and is expected to hold up better there.
Opening gross for "College Road Trip" was a bit less than that of Martin Lawrence's last pic, "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins," which bowed to $16.2 million in February. That movie went on to gross $39 million, but Disney is hoping for higher returns from "Road Trip" as students begin their spring break this week. That could lead to weekday grosses that are much better than normal.
"College Road Trip" played 2,706 locations and averaged $5,174.
Lionsgate actioner "Bank Job" opened to a modest $5.7 million, right around where the studio had expected. Jason Statham starrer, which was a negative pickup for the studio, averaged $3,561 at 1,603 theaters.
Focus opened "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day" at 535 locations, where the Frances McDormand-Amy Adams starrer averaged $4,750 and grossed a total of $2.5 million.
New Line's swan song "Semi-Pro" grossed just $5.8 million on its second weekend. Cume on the basketball comedy is $24.7 million after 10 days. New Line is officially folding it's tent and is being merged into Warner Brothers. [Variety]
