Another Dead Heat at the Top of the North-American Box Office?

21 April, 2010

The scenario is repeated only one week after the almost-dead heat between the two heads of the North-American Box Office. This time, the duel is played between superhero movie Kick-Ass of Lionsgate and the cartoon film of DreamWorks Animation, How to Train Your Dragon.

According to the estimates, Kick-Ass, released this week, should bring back 19.75 million American dollars. A little less than what the producers expected, but it would be however about a good introduction.

Announced first this week, How to Train Your Dragon should generate 20 million dollars. The cartoon film was released four weeks ago.

Again, it will be necessary to be careful in front of the numbers advanced by the production companies. On the last week, the receipts recorded at the end of the weekend proved that the estimates of the producers were not always exact. Indeed, Date Night had finally finished second – and not first – behind Clash of the Titans.

This situation, where films are so close in the Box Office that we cannot be sure estimates, is exceptional. Box Office analysts say that they have seen that twice of two weeks.

New in the rooms and in the top 10, the American remake of the British comedy of the same name, Death at a Funeral, took the fourth place with an income of 17,3 million dollars.

Letters to God and Diary of a Wimpy Kid do not form part of the ten leaders of the classification anymore.

The American actor, stand-up comedian, and R&B singer Jamie Foxx (recently seen in Valentine’s Day, Law Abiding Citizen, The Soloist, The Kingdom, Miami Vice and Collateral), and 20th Century Fox Animation will make team to work on the new animation movie Welcome to the Jungle inspired by an original history written by the scenario writer Malcolm Spellman (who also wrote the scenario for Our Family Wedding).

Jamie Foxx will make his first incursion into the world of animation films. He will lend his voice to one of the characters in the movie in addition to producing the project in partnership with Jamie Rucker King, his manager and partner within the company FoxxKing Entertainment. Foxx, which is also an artist R&B member who won a Grammy, will write the original music for the project.

The details of the scenario remain secret for the moment. The only evidence left by Malcolm Spellman and his team is the sentence: The life is a jungle, welcome in it.

Foxx could be seen on the big screen next November in the comedy Due Date directed by Todd Phillips. Note that Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis also play in that motion picture.
