RIDDICK wins doldrums weekend
|
For the third weekend in a row the top movie failed to make $20 million. The movie that did come in first was the violent, vulgar Universal movie RIDDICK. THE BUTLER dropped to second followed by INSTRUCTIONS NOT INCLUDED, WE’RE THE MILLERS and Disney’s PLANES. |
|
PLANES, once considered for straight to DVD, should make it to $80 million this week but would have to struggle to make it to $100 million. It is really the first Disney animation studio production to sort of be a sequel to a Pixar movie. |
