This weekend at the box office, "The Lorax" was the biggest seller. In total, the movie was made for around $70 million. It actually ended up making $70.7 million for this weekend. The price will most definitely go up within the next few weeks. Interestingly enough, the second most popular was "Project X"- a completely different movie. While "The Lorax" is about saving the Earth and appreciating our world, "Project X" is about a bunch of drunk kids partying (apparently based on a true story). "Project X" made $20.8 million in sales (and that includes people going to midnight premieres). Though "Project X" only cost the production studio $12 million to make.
This is newsworthy how two completely different movies can make so much money in one weekend. It is clear that the movies are still alive and well. For a while people weren't so certain of it because of advances in technology- it would seem pointless to go to a movie and see film when the DVD/Blu-Ray is of better quality.
"The Lorax" Beats "Project X"
Do family movies tend to do better in theaters?
