Karate Kid Crane Kicks The A-Team

karatekidposter.jpgOh My! Oh My!  Oh My!  Behold the power of Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan as The Karate Kid demolishes The A-Team at the weekend box office.

The Karate Kid scores $56 Million in an opening weekend haul no one predicted.  Seriously, if someone uncovers some Nostradamus prediction that this re-boot would boot the TV-based action film in the booty, I am going to call baloney! 

The A-Team brought in $26 Million, which isn't horrible, but in Hollywood, everyone will be talking about how this movie was trounced by the little movie no one expected to be this big. 

Shrek Forever After keeps bringing in the green with another $15.8 Million this weekend to bring its total box office take to $210 Million in the United States and $284 Million worldwide. 

Get ready for The Karate Kid 2 where Jaden and Jackie Chan have to go to an international tournament in Toronto to take on a new nemesis - Justin Bieber!!!!!
