The Thing was disappointing, what with a debut of $8.5 million only. Although the start was poor, it sold about as many tickets in the opening weekend as the 1982 movie of the same name, of which this is a remake.
The Ides Of March fell 32% to $7.1 million to take its total for 10 days to $21.8 million. It came down two places – from no. 2 to no. 4.
Warner’s Dolphin Tale also fell two places to no. 5. It added $6.2 million to its kitty to take its 24-day total to $58.6 million.
