Weekend Box Office Update

2011/10/03 01:19:19 +00:00 | Jonathan James

None of this weekend's new releases managed to break into the top 3. Instead, Dolphin Tale claimed the top spot, earning an estimated $14.2 million. As expected, Moneyball held strong at 2nd place, earning $12.5 million. Dream House underperformed this weekend, earning only $8.2 million, but it wasn't completely unexpected due to a weak marketing push and lack of critical praise.

Next week's releases include Real Steel, The Ides of March, and the beginning of a limited run of The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence). Here are the top 10 box office results for this weekend:

1.  Dolphin Tale - $14,245,000
2.  Moneyball - $12,500,000
3.  The Lion King 3D - $11,057,000
4.  50/50 - $8,858,000
5.  Courageous - $8,800,000
6.  Dream House - $8,209,000
7.  Abduction - $5,650,000
8.  What's Your Number? - $5,600,000
9.  Contagion - $5,040,000
10. Killer Elite - $4,855,000
