Here is the Weekend Box Office Results for April 23-25, 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.

As they are estimates, there is what to raise the question. Does Date Night truly occupy the first place of the North American box office? With a variation of less than 200.000 $US of receipts between Date Night and Clash of the Titans, we can be certain of nothing.

It will be necessary to await the recorded numbers for the day of Sunday before being able to be sure that the two films are in the good place. It would seem that a difference of almost 1 million $US can be drawn between the estimates made by the production companies and the receipts really made at the end of the weekend.

For the moment, 20th Century Fox announced that its film Date Night had gained 27,1 $US million whereas Warner Bros. post profits of 26,9 $US million for Clash of the Titans.

The action comedy by Shawn Levy, Night Date, has just made its arrival in the North American rooms. The film in which play Tina Fey and the star of the TV series The Office, Steve Carell, tells the story of a couple in the search of a little prickly in their life. A small lie in a restaurant of New York will lead them to live all kinds of adventures through the city.

Even if the race does not seem not finished between the two chief candidates for this week, with the final classification, Clash of the Titans will finishe behind Date Night according to any logic. Considering the fact that the film by Louis Leterrier starts its second week since its release, it would be logic. This modern story of Greek mythology puts in scene the actor Sam Worthington in the role of Perseus, who will try to save his beloved Andromeda (Alexa Davalos).

Another new release this week is the family drama Letters to God. She’s Out of My League and Shutter Island as for them left top 10.
