Results from New Years weekend box office are beginning to surface.
Through Sunday January 2, VDT is estimated to have earned $87.1 million domestically. In international markets, Fox reports via Deadline Hollywood that VDT stands at a cumulative $210 million. Add that up…
…and VDT stands at $297.1 million worldwide. This total is better than many expected when the film opened poorly in the United States. However, movie attendance will slow down considerably this week as many school vacations are over. On the other hand, VDT has yet to open in Argentina and Venezuela (two small markets) or China or Japan (two larger markets).
Keep an eye on NarniaFans for updates. In the mean time, check out this interesting piece at Deadline Hollywood about 2010’s movie attendance and whether or not studios should cut down on the number of 3D films. Note that movie attendance was down from 2009 throughout the year – meaning snowstorms aren’t the culprit behind disappointing returns for multiple films. Although – they didn’t help!
