Box Office Numbers: Adventures in cyberspace

0

Welcome to the first edition of Box Office Numbers, which really needs no explanation because it is exactly what it sounds like. Still, this will be your source for the weekend box office stats so that you always know which films are successes and which ones you can laugh at for failing miserably.

It’s hardly surprising that TRON: Legacy is the highest-grossing film this weekend — with its huge marketing push and historic pedigree, it’s an obvious pick for the top spot. But it’s amazing how far ahead it is! 

Maybe that’s because the #2 spot belongs to Yogi Bear, which opened to just a little bit more than Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Fighter, both in their second weeks. It saddens me to see it that high, but, hey, I can’t complain too much.

Read on to check out all of the numbers from this TRON-dominated weekend.
