Despite a massive publicity push by star Angelina Jolie, her new film, A Might Heart, opened at a disappointing tenth place at the U.S. box office this past weekend.
Released on 1,355 screens the film took in only $3.8 million, but even more disturbing than the disappointing opening was the film’s per screen average, which was extremely low, indicating weak interest in the well-reviewed pic.
A Mighty Heart isn’t exactly popcorn summer material. Steve Carrell‘s Evan Almighty is, though. However, that film opened to dissapointing numbers too.
At over $175 million, Evan was the most expensive comedy ever to be made, yet the film took in only $32.1 million this past weekend – that’s half of what the film’s predecessor, Bruce Almighty starring Jim Carrey, took in on its first weekend.
The John Cusack thriller 1408 – based on a Stephen King work- did very well, coming in at #3 with $20.3 million.
