The box office results for the weekend of March 9th – 11th has three newbies struggle to garner attention and end up being lost in the The Lorax’s<\/em> shadow. Here are the studio estimates:<\/p>\n

1. Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax ($39.1 million)<\/p>\n

2. John Carter ($30.6 million)<\/p>\n

3. Project X ($11.5 million)<\/p>\n

4. Silent House ($7 million)<\/p>\n

5. Act of Valor ($7 million)<\/p>\n

6. A Thousand Words ($6.5 million)<\/p>\n

7. Safe House ($4.9 million)<\/p>\n

8. The Vow ($4 million)<\/p>\n

9. The Means War ($3.7 million)<\/p>\n

10. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (3.6 million)<\/p>\n

Analysis<\/p>\n

The only new release that will be seeing the black ink on the balance sheet will be the thrifty produced Silent House<\/strong><\/em>. As long as Open Road Films didn’t go crazy on the marketing costs for this horror remake – which by the lack of promos, they didn’t – then there’s a solid chance this will be profitable assuming that the production budget was only a couple million.<\/p>\n

Months before John Carter<\/strong><\/em> was released, cinema pundits were already proclaiming that this could be a major flop for Walt Disney Pictures. And they were right. With a monstrous production budget of $250 million, a $30 million opening weekend just won’t cut it. The sci-fi flick is going to need a massive overseas’ showing or else this will not only be on Flop Alert<\/strong>…this is Flop Certainty<\/strong>. Why and how this occurred is unknown; yet there is evidence over the years of releasing a summer-like blockbuster in the Spring, which has been able to perform exceptionally well.<\/p>\n

Eddie Murphy’s drawing power as a leading man has once again taken a hit with the often-delayed A Thousand Words<\/strong><\/em>. In films where Murphy was the sole lead, only 2007’s Norbit<\/em> has performed well for the former comedian. Seriously, what happened to R-rated Murphy? With a $40 million production budget, and the terrible reviews from both the lovely critics and audiences, there isn’t anything Paramount can say to save this product.<\/p>\n

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island<\/strong><\/em> and Safe House<\/strong><\/em> currently have the longest streak in the top ten with 5 weeks apiece. Journey is up to $90 million domestically, while Safe House hit $115 million and has become one of the year’s top Sleeper Hit<\/strong> thus far.<\/p>\n

This Friday it’s another ’80s TV show receiving the big-screen treatment. 21 Jump Street will be revamped and hope to capitalize on the rabid hunger for R-rated comedies. In limited fashion, Jeff Who Lives at Home and Casa De Mi Padre quietly make their debuts. Reviews will be right here my fellow Shockers.<\/p>\n
