Monday Morning Box Office Report: 2012 Destroys Everything Everywhere
Roland Emmerich’s 2012 had a sufficiently massive opening weekend, bringing in $65 million in North America, and $225 million worldwide proving that the disaster movie is far from dead. This makes it the 7th highest opening weekend in November ever. A Christmas Carol dropped to #2 with another $22 million, while The Men Who Stare At Goats held down the #3 position. Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire jumped to #4 continuing to build buzz as it expanded to more theatres, and Michael Jackson’s This Is It slipped to #5. Pirate Radio, on the other hand, had a rough opening all the way down at #11, earning just $2.8 million on almost 900 screens. Yikes.
