No end in sight for AVATAR? – Box Office Hits & Misses
January 11, 2010
Leap Year starring Amy Adams
This weekend the figures speak for themselves, AVATAR remains head and shoulders ahead of everything.
Poor openings for both LEAP YEAR and YOUTH IN REVOLT in the States. LEAP YEAR suffered from terrible reviews and trailed miserably behind last year’s January comedies BRIDE WARS and 27 DRESSES. YOUTH IN REVOLT, a comedy aimed at young adults, received more favourable reviews but this audience found bigger films in the marketplace to turn their attentions to.
