‘Date Night’ Second Weekend Box Office Results

Filip — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 10:38:47 +0000

In its second week in theaters, Date Night came in at #3 with earnings of $17.3 million! The movie, starring Tina Fey and Steve Carrell, was beaten by How to Train Your Dragon (reclaiming the top spot in its fourth week) and Kick-Ass (in its first week). This brings Date Night‘s total gross to around $49.2 million, just shy of its $55 million purported production cost.

Great job, Tina and Steve! Top 5 can be seen below.

1. How to Train Your Dragon – $20 million
2. Kick-Ass – $19.7 million
3. Date Night – $17.3 million
4. Death At A Funeral – $17 million

‘Date Night’ Actual Box Office Numbers

Filip — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 20:47:49 +0000

We reported yesterday that the new comedy Date Night beat out last weekend’s winner Clash of the Titans at the box office this weekend in a very close race, and it seems that the final figures prove otherwise. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the final box office figures have put Clash of the Titans atop the box office for a second week in a row.

Yesterday’s estimates had Date Night taking in $27.1 million and Clash of the Titans in a close second place with $26.8 million. Now the final figures reveal that Clash of the Titans actually made $26.7 million but Date Night ‘only’ took in $25.2 million.

Still a very good opening for Date Night which performed slightly better than expected. Let’s hope the numbers stay that way over the next weekend as well!

It’s finally here! Date Night premieres in theaters today! Today! The movie stars Tina Fey, Steve Carrell, James Franco, Mila Kunis, Taraji P. Henson, Common, Leighton Meester, Kristen Wiig and lots, lots more stars. So far it’s gotten a 70% fresh rating on RottenTomatoes.com, and I’ve included a few reviews below.

Date Night sure seems to be an awesome movie (much thanks to Tina Fey and Steve Carrell), so be sure to go to your local cinemas this weekend and see it!

“It’s an intelligent action comedy, told from the vantage point of ‘after’ after the ‘happily ever after.’ And starring two of the funniest people in America, you just may want to save the date.”
Kimberly Gadette, Indie Movies Online

“In a world of two hour and thirty-minute films comes a funny, action-packed 87 minute flick that packs a great entertaining punch. Fey, Carell and Wahlberg are hilarious”
Kevin McCarthy, BDK Reviews

“Here’s proof that Tina Fey and Steve Carell could squeeze laughs out of a phone book. ”
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“Featuring inspired casting, gleeful performances and smoothly handled story transitions, Date Night employs Steve Carell’s and Tina Fey’s peerless knack for selling absurdist lines to deliver something resembling a comedy classic.”
Justin Strout, Orlando Weekly

“In the hands of, say, a Greg Kinnear and a Sarah Jessica Parker, the thing could be a disaster. It’s not. Not by a long shot.”
Michael O’Sullivan, Washington Post

“Watching Carell and Fey in action, trading quips and dodging gunfire as they attempt to make their way home to white-picket-fence suburbia, makes you wonder why it’s taken so long to bring these two gifted comics together.”
Peter Howell, Toronto Star

“Carell and Fey mine the humor of predictable characters acting unpredictably — and frequently, they strike gold.”
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
