After delivering Friday numbers that, while small, at least kept the film on pace to reach its projected total, “Glee: The 3D Concert Movie” completely fell apart Saturday and ended up delivering a disastrous opening weekend total.
The film grossed just $5.7 million according to weekend estimates, which put it at eleventh place for the weekend. Abysmally forecast going into the weekend at only $8-10 million, the actual total is that of a legitimate bomb.
On the other side of the spectrum was “The Help,” which overperformed to earn $25.5 million and a second place finish (behind “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”‘s $27.5 million). Since its Wednesday opening, “Help” has earned $35.4 million.
“Final Destination 5” landed in third on an underwhelming $18.4 million, but it still garnered enough to top week three of “The Smurfs” ($13.5 million). “30 Minutes or Less” was lighter than projections with $13 million for its opening weekend.
