Another Weak Weekend: New Years Eve #1 But Underperforming Same Goes With The Sitter #2

SATURDAYAM: I appear as being a broken record because it’s anotherdisappointing domestic box office. And thesecond weekend back to back where the overall movie total won’t make greater than $80M for possibly 2011′s least expensive haul. It’s also lower 8% from a year ago.Maintain surprises away inside the Top since Warner Bros’ New Years Eve was prone to unseat Summit’s Twilight Saga: Breaking Beginning Part 1 which spent three straight days at No. 1. But what's alarming is the latest in thisholiday-designed franchise is coming way underneath the $20M the studio predicted. Year’s Eve been not successful round the late shows last evening and flattened out substantially.”Not much champagne for the opening,” one rival professional snarked in my opinion. Particularly with all of people title stars and stars cast inside the season’s only romantic comedy. Showing once again this year stars and derivative storytellingdon’t attract moviegoers at this time around. Audiences gave it a ‘B+’ CinemaScore. Fox’s The Sitter showed up second and extremely did some business late as well as in the civilized world and so the amounts came back just a little.Butit’s worse compared to decreased anticipation beginning this U . s . States weekend.Audiences gave it basically a ‘C+’ CinemaScore.
