After surprising us on Friday with its first-place debut, Think Like A Man has surprised again with its estimated $33 million haul from 2,015 locations. That is the best per-screen average of the week (wide releases) and it nearly doubles expectations for the comedy. In second place, The Lucky One earned a solid $22.8 million and then there’s The Hunger Games… not sick of hearing about that one yet, are you?

On Easter weekend the animated hit Rio managed to hold on to its number one perch for a second weekend in a row with an estimated $26.8 million. The padding between Fox’s birds and the Tyler Perry’s bawd was pretty slim, however. In second place Madea’s Big Happy Family was right behind Rio with an estimated $25.8 million.

	Title	Weekend	Total
1	Rio	$26,800,000	$81.3
2	Madea’s Big Happy Family	$25,800,000	$25.8
3	Water for Elephants	$17,500,000	$17.5

Friday Box Office – RIO Still Flying High with $10.7 Million; MADEA’S BIG HAPPY FAMILY a Close Second

by Nicole Pedersen Posted: April 23rd, 2011 at 9:27 am

Hollywood is definitely going to have its second ‘up’ weekend in a row come Sunday. It’s another 2011 milestone! Credit that success to Fox’s Rio, whose Friday-to-Friday estimate of $10.7 million was slightly higher than its debut one week ago, and to Tyler Perry’s latest, Madea’s Big Happy Family, which was just behind Rio with a Friday estimate of $10.5 million from 2,288 locations. Madea is not expected to match Perry’s past Easter weekend debuts, which means that Rio will most likely see its second weekend at number one. Fox is back at number three with Water for Elephants. The adaptation of the bestselling novel debuted with an estimated $7 million from 2,817 locations and should come in line with projections which put it in the mid teens or slightly above for the Easter weekend. Finally, Disney Nature continued its tradition of Earth Day releases with African Cats. They didn’t score the huge debut they saw with Earth, but Cats was cunning enough to make it into Friday’s top five with an estimated $3.3 million from just 1,220 locations.

	Title	Friday	Total
1	Rio	$10,700,000	$65.2
2	Madea’s Big Happy Family	$10,500,000	$10.5
3	Water for Elephants	$7,000,000	$7
4	Hop	$4,200,000	$92.2
5	African Cats	$3,300,000	$3.3

Disney Nature: EARTH Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte Posted: September 2nd, 2009 at 5:07 pm

If you’ve got a Blu-ray player, there’s something to be said for picture quality as an end game. As the technology makes it way into houses, and 1080p transfers are the things to show off, then I makes sense to have a number of demo discs. Wall*E is the perfect example of excellent sound and picture quality, as is a film like There Will Be Blood. 2009′s Earth is knocking on that door. My review of Earth after the jump.
