It seems like the delay of G.I. Joe: Retaliation paid off for Paramount. The movie easily took first place for the weekend, earning an estimated $41 million and a total of $51.7 million since opening on Thursday. It had a smaller production budget than the first movie and is already doing quite well internationally, so this should be a decent win for Paramount.
In second place, was The Croods, which has earned $88.6 million since opening. Third place went to Tyler Perry's new release, Temptation, which earned $22.3 million, while Olympus Has Fallen added another $11 million to its take over the weekend. Oz The Great and Powerful is less than $2 million shy of the $200 million mark and should cross it over the next couple of days. In sixth place was The Host, which had a disappointing opening of only $11 million.
Next weekend sees the wide release of Evil Dead and Jurassic Park 3D, with a limited release of 6 Souls. Here are the top ten results for this weekend:
1. G.I. Joe: Retaliation - $41,200,000
2. The Croods - $26,500,000
3. Tyler Perry’s Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor - $22,300,000
4. Olympus Has Fallen - $14,000,000
5. Oz The Great and Powerful - $11,605,000
6. The Host - $11,002,000
7. The Call - $4,800,000
8. Admission - $3,253,900
9. Spring Breakers - $2,758,000
10. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone - $1,300,000
