21 Jump Street:

For the coming week, ticket sales are expected to be calm and normal. Benefiting greatly from being the only wide release film, 21 Jump Street is expected to dethrone The Lorax with a typical $32.2 million in North American box office business. The early approval rating for the new action-comedy is oddly enough a really good one. It currently hold a 86% fresh rating on the critical-news aggregator, Rotten Tomatoes.

Next week, however, The Hunger Games is expected to kick-start the year with a huge box-office debut. More News will be available soon.(~March 18, 2012)

John Carter International Results

As expected John Carter performed well overseas(non-North American Markets) and its strong holds came from Russia and Asia. It opened internationally to $70.6 million for a total $101.2 million. With such a trend it is on track to gross more than $280 million worldwide. However, with its $300 million budget(including marketing), profitability is minimal.
