The early results are in for receipts at the box office this weekend. “Date Night” kept cash flowing in theaters to the tune of $9.3M during its first day of release.
It looks like Avatar, Hollywood's most expensive movie ever launched, picked up an estimated $73 million Friday-Sunday. That fell short of 2009's opening-weekend record, but, with awards season, word of mouth and less snow presumably primed to fuel weeks of ticket sales, set the James Cameron space epic on a course to potentially become one of Hollywood's top money-makers of all time.
