Box-Office: Oscar Weekend, but Audiences Like..

Tyler Perry, The Rock, Ryan Reynolds and Channing Tatum. Good job, audiences!

1. Good Deeds - $16m / $16m / $36m
2. Act of Valor - $15m / $15m / $40m
3. Journey 2 - $14m / $77.5m / $110m
4. Safe House - $13m / $100m / $130m
5. The Vow - $12m / $105m / $132m
6. Wanderlust - $11m / $11m / $30m
7. Ghost Rider 2 - $10m / $39.5m / $58m
8. Gone - $9m / $9m / $24m
9. This Means War - $8.5m / $33.5m / $52m
10. Chronicle - $4m / $58m / $67m
Secret World of Arrietty - $4m / $14m / $24m

**The Artist - $2.5m / $31m / $50m

As stated above, The Artist will cross $30 million this weekend and should be able to finally convince people to go see it once it wins Best Picture. Meanwhile, the four openers could each do anywhere from mid single digits to low 20's. Tyler Perry movies have a tendency to perform poorly when he isn't Madea in them. Act of Valor's stupid gimmick of having actual Navy SEALs might pay off, while Wanderlust and Gone could go big depending if their respective audiences turn up. Interesting to note that Journey, Safe House and Vow have switched places from 2 weeks ago.
