Tron: Legacy Tops an Otherwise Weak Box Office Weekend

To no one’s surprise, Tron: Legacy came in atop the box office this weekend, bringing in $43.6 million. Overall it was a weak weekend for Hollywood, with the the second place film, Yogi Bear, coming in well short of the $20 million expected to make (it earned $16.7 million). The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Fighter and The Tourist rounded out the top five. As disappointed as executives may be in Yogi, it’s a huge success compared to How Do You Know. The star-studded romantic comedy came in at number eight, and earned a really not so hot $7.6 million. Maybe the genre really is dead. [THR]
