Monday Morning Box Office Report: Hannah Montana Outmuscles Vin Diesel

boxofficeapr13_09

As expected, families flocked to theatres over the Easter long weekend to watch Miley Cyrus struggle with her pop star alter-ego Hannah Montana… a much more interesting proposition, apparently, than any of the other new releases on the big screen this week. The $34 million opening made it the second-highest Easter opening ever, behind Scary Movie 4. Fast & Furious and Monsters vs Aliens also did quite well, earning over $20 million each, while Jody Hill’s Observe & Report only managed a disappointing $11.1 million. As for Dragonball Evolution, the movie flat out bombed, debuting with just $4.65 million and little hope of expanding on that in future weeks.

1. Hannah Montana: The Movie — $34M
2. Fast & Furious — $28.8M
3. Monsters vs Aliens — $22.6M
4. Observe and Report — $11.1M
5. Knowing — $6.67M
6. I Love You, Man — $6.41M
7. The Haunting in Connecticut — $5.71M
8. Dragonball Evolution — $4.65M
9. Adventureland — $3.43M
10. Duplicity — $3M



  • Miley…you ROCK!

    i didn’t even know the hannah montana movie existed.

  • I predict a positive bump in the second week for Observe and Report as word of mouth gets out there. That shit was funny. As a result of this, Kevin Smith should be put on suicide watch because there is no reason Zack and Miri Make a Porno should not have made more money like these other raunchy comedies (Pineapple, Role Models, Superbad) Weinstein Company sucks ass.

    Rus is right…DOWN WITH KEVIN SMITH AND HIS NAZI AGENDA!!!

    Zack and Miri failed because it was shit, NOT because of all the extreme conservative controversy over the title…that’s a proven fact, just like Creationism!!!
