Hollywood Movie Report

Another Monday morning has arrived, and this means it is time to look at what happened at this weekend’s box office. Some might be shocked to see what happened this weekend though. After clearly dominating in its first week, Watchmen dropped in its second week of release to second place. This week’s top player at the box office was Dwayne Johnson and Carla Gugino with Race To Witch Mountain. Yes, Carla is also in Watchmen, so now she can say that she had two number one movies at the box office in the month of March 2009.

What is most shocking about this is the fact that Watchmen dropped so much from its first week. It only brought in a third of its first week’s sales with $18 million in earnings. Race To Witch Mountain came out on top with $25 million. The other new releases this weekend, The Last House On The Left and Miss March, came in at third place and tenth place, respectively. The Last House On The Left is another horror movie remake, but it did well with $14.7 million in earnings at the box office.

As for what is coming out new in the week ahead, we have three new movies hitting theaters - Duplicity, I Love you, Man, and Knowing. I am quite interested in Knowing based on the trailer alone, but Duplicity has star power with Julia Roberts and Clive Owen together again. On DVD, Twilight fans can pick up their copies on Tuesday as the movie hits store shelves. For a full list of this week’s releases, check out after the jump.
