A funny thing on the way to world domination Jonas Brothers: a second job.Jonas Brothers: 3D Concert Experience, plus an estimated 12.7 million U.S. dollars from Friday to Sunday, when a life in the fashion media, and not easily Tyler Perry Madea is like in prison No. 1 film at the weekend box office office.
Surprisingly, the Jonas movie is not only not on the level of initial projections, do not live down, expenditure underwhelming reviews Friday after its inception.
What happened?
"It is the nature of what we are trying to see," Relations with the exhibitors Jeff Bock said today.
Relations with the exhibitors and other Box Office was the release of Disney dominated the weekend with 30 million U.S. dollars from Friday to Sunday in gross figures. Well, most of the studies are out of the way a sign of Jonas, which they believed also that the band from the movie would be great.
Then it was the opening day. The film is increased an estimated 4.8 billion U.S. dollars at the helm for the day, but just enough for a week before the old Madea is in prison. Exhibitor Relations, the film is now on the right track for a weekend, 17 million U.S. dollars.
Then came Saturday. Consequently, on Friday, the gross income, such as films such as the G-rated pressure Jonas almost always in his fell to an estimated 4.5 million U.S. dollars.
Today is the film to gross 3.4 million U.S. dollars. At this point, says Bock will not be surprised if the film does not meet the requirements of this notice as well. And if they do not meet the benchmark, the film is in danger of falling to third place in the rankings after the weekend invited Oscar Slumdog Millionaire, which is currently in third place with 12.2 million U.S. dollars.
If, as the film underperfomed remains the big question: Why?
Some theories:
1. Hannah Montana is here. Estimated 30 million U.S. dollars will not emerge from nowhere, based on what Miley Cyrus concert 3D/IMAX Disney film, in its opening times at weekends, when $ 31.1 million, and half on the screen (683), that the film Jonas Brothers (1271).
He had a large family on the differences between Cyrus and Jonas.
"The Jonas Brothers are not a TV show," Brandon Gray of Box Office Mojo, said today.
Bock argued for the gap between the sexes. "The girls are looking for girls, boys, for the inspiration," he says.
2. This is because of the recession. Cyrus movie was released in February 2008 before the economic collapse. And while the recession has a lot of Hollywood in the rule of the visit is an increase of 11 percent over the same period last year, the jury rather 3D and IMAX films. While Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend was the 2D-Paul Blart: Mall Cop dominated, not by My Bloody Valentine 3D, which provide a solid, but not so large as expected.
"People are not Schilling top dollars for them, as if they were a year ago," says Bock.
Gray was less willing, the theory of recession, noting that Coraline, particularly the loss of a few cinemas in 3D, this week, the Jonas Brothers, was stable, with a total of four weeks to $ 61.1 million.
3. It's the Jonas Brothers' debt. Cable, their Camp Rock was great, but not as big as High School Musical 2, or as plentiful as the original HSM. In the box-office, concert was a great film-concert movie (the third major opening of all time, the Statistics Box Office Mojo), but not even half the size of Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus.
"The Jonas Brothers are not the height of fashion," said Gray. "They were identified as the second coming of the Beatles, and they are not."
Nobody says that the path to world domination without dents. Or skin bleeding.
