Russia and CIS: February 24-27, Results
I Am Number Four took the first position with $3,28M. Effective advertising among youth audience helped it to be near to the result of Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief ($3,35M on 811 screens). And also it was better than starting in the UK ($2,63M).
Romantic comedy "Vykrutasy" lost a mild 41 percent and moved to the second place. The Timur Bekmambetov's project has now earned $10M after two weeks.
Russian criminal action "Slove. Pryamo v serdtse" performed a much better than we predicted - $1,49M for 6 days. Wide release, the successful tandem of brothers Chadov attractive for female audience, and significant marketing costs ($3M) didn't disgrace its creators . But reviews are very weak, so it can reach $3M at the best case.
Crime comedy Big Mommas with Martin Lawrence started on 420 screens with $1,11M after 6 days. The result of the previous part of the trilogy, which earned $ 1.6 million, will be surpassed as early as next weekend.
For Australian teen war film Tomorrow, When the War Began the weekend finished unsuccessfully. It earned only $0,65M on 614 screens. The per-theater average for weekend is the lowest among openers. Rate company Central Partnership for a wide release, unsupported investment in promoting the film, didn't work. And this is not the first time.
The historical drama The King's Speech surpassed The Fighter in the struggle of two Oscar-winning films.
Gnomeo & Juliet 3D passed $5M.
