Suddenly there are a lot of choices at the multiplex, and the rewards vary. Critics may hate Taken 2, but audiences are still flocking to it. Ben Affleck's Oscarbait bid Argo did very well, and I expect it to have long legs. Sinister filled the void of the lack of horror movies out right now, wisely opening before Paranormal Activity 4.
Here Comes the Boom is the lowest opening ever for a Kevin James movie. Seven Psychopaths and Atlas Shrugged Part II opened on fewer screens, and their per-screen average suggests wisdom by the studio/theaters to not try for more.
It's too bad about The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It had good reviews, but I guess the teens went to see Pitch Perfect instead.
