Despite four new wide releases entering theaters, Think Like A Man, the adaptation of Steve Harvey's famous advice book for women, Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man, managed to stay on top of the box office on Friday with $5.5 million.
Although that gross marks a drop of about 55 percent from last Friday, things should stabilize nicely over the rest of the weekend.
I can say that I didn't expect The Five-Year Engagement would fail this badly. I had some hope for it since Jason Segel and Emily Blunt seemed to work well together. This weekend seems to be like it is going to be one of the weakest box office weekends of 2012 but since the Avengers comes out next weekend, the slump at the box office should not continue since it is expected to open bigger than Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.
