Another 3D movie hit the theaters this week, and found itself at #1. Isn't it funny how that happens when you charge more per ticket than the competition? How To Train Your Dragon flew past Alice In Wonderland and trounced Hot Tub Time Machine at the box office this weekend hauling in $43.3 Million.
Alice still drummed up $17.3 Million while the Hot Tub Time Machine shorted out with $13.6 Million after an extensive marketing campaign. I guess John Cusack just doesn't pack 'em in like he used to.
Worst of all, Diary of a Wimpy Kid showed no legs whatsoever and dropped an astounding 54% from last week's take to limp across the finish line with $12.4 Million. Typically, that kind of drop indicates the audience is not that large for the film series to be a blockbuster, and word of mouth on this one turned people away instead of bringing them into the cineplex.
