BOX OFFICE
(DreamWorks)
The animals and aliens have won again.
Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted won its second straight weekend, with a $35 million take at the box office, while sci-fi thriller Prometheus secured the number two spot with $21 million.
That's bad news for this week's two new releases.
Star-packed 1980s hair metal musical Rock of Ages opened in third place with $15 million in ticket sales.
And Adam Sandler's latest, That's My Boy, came in fourth with $14 million.
Nabbing fifth was Snow White and the Huntsman with $13 million.
Rounding out this week's Top 10 were Men in Black 3 ($9.8 million), The Avengers ($8.4 million), The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel ($2.4 million), art house record-breaker Moonrise Kingdom ($2.3 million), and pregnancy comedy What to Expect When You're Expecting ($1.5 million).

So how much profit did this movie already?
-
Let me guess, more than Bel Ami?
-
Yeah :)
-
Bel Ami was only released in selected theaters, also you cannot compare a commercial movie to an indie movie

It never ceases to amaze me that ANYONE buys a ticket to see an Adam Sandler movie. His films aren't funny, the acting sucks, and are obviously made for people under the age of 8. He is a waste of time and a waste of money''and yet'.his films seem to do well. What has this world come to?

SWATH has not yet made a profit, and going by the poor numbers, yes poor no matter however Universal try to spin it, it will not make a profit. It needs to make at least $170 mill at the US box office alone, add in around $80 mill advertising, and it needs to make at least that at the worldwide box office to break even'. well do the math,
Bel Ami is doing poorly at the US box office, but with little P&A costs, add in the early VOD, and what it is making world wide, it'll eventually turn a small profit which is acceptable for a small indie budgeted at just $11 mill'
Kristen Stewart indie films however have never made a profit, neither will her first post-Twilight studio movie either, by the looks of it. :)

@somebody there are some Indie movies that actually make big money for example 1968's Rachel Rachel was an indie movie and was Warner brothers/7 arts 5th highest grossing film of the year making 18.85 million at the box office mind you the average ticket price back then was $1.31 while is $7.92 now 44 years later. granted that film had 2 academy award winning actresses in it and they were both nominated for their work in it correct those two actresses are Joanne Woodward & Estelle Parsons who had won best actress in 1958 and best supporting actress in 1967 respectively the films were Three Faces Of Eve & Bonnie & Clyde.
