Though not enough to make the &#8220;Tron&#8221; sequel a blockbuster, the total is sizable given the presumed low level of box office interest the week before Christmas and the fact that the predecessor came out nearly thirty years ago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yogi Bear&#8221; predictably stumbled out of the gate, earning just $4.6 million in its opener.  Its true test will not come until Saturday&#8217;s matinee results and Christmas weekend data is tallied, but as of right now, the film is hardly giving indications of a box office victory for nostalgia.<\/p>\n<p>After starting well as a platform release, &#8220;The Fighter&#8221; generated minimal wide interest, generating only $3.9 million in receipts for a third place finish.  Slightly ahead of &#8220;The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader&#8221; ($3.6 million) on Friday, &#8220;The Fighter&#8221; might end up forfeiting the third place spot as the family-oriented &#8220;Narnia&#8221; likely holds up better through the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Big budget &#8220;How Do You Know&#8221; ($2.6 million) finished in a virtual lock with &#8220;The Tourist&#8221; ($2.6 million) and &#8220;Black Swan&#8221; ($2.5 million).  Director James L. Brooks&#8217; biggest success &#8220;As Good as It Gets&#8221; relied on strong word of mouth to transform into a hit after a moderate opening; &#8220;How Do You Know&#8221; might have some legs, but with a slower start and considerably worse reviews, it is unlikely to even touch that film&#8217;s numbers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&quot;Tron Legacy&quot; Dominates Box Office, &quot;Yogi Bear,&quot; &quot;How Do You Know&quot; Soft<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Far from a runaway smash, &quot;Tron Legacy&quot; nonetheless dominated the box office in its opening day Friday, scoring a total that eclipsed its nearest\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/12\/18\/tron-legacy-dominates-box-office-yogi-bear-how-do-you-know-soft\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"&quot;Tron Legacy&quot; Dominates Box Office, &quot;Yogi Bear,&quot; &quot;How Do You Know&quot; Soft\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Far from a runaway smash, &quot;Tron Legacy&quot; nonetheless dominated the box office in its opening day Friday, scoring a total that eclipsed its nearest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/12\/18\/tron-legacy-dominates-box-office-yogi-bear-how-do-you-know-soft\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2010-12-19T03:01:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/view2.picapp.com\/pictures.photo\/image\/10368760\/world-premiere-walt-disney\/world-premiere-walt-disney.jpg?size=234&imageId=10368760\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/12\/18\/tron-legacy-dominates-box-office-yogi-bear-how-do-you-know-soft\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/12\/18\/tron-legacy-dominates-box-office-yogi-bear-how-do-you-know-soft\/\",\"name\":\"\\\"Tron Legacy\\\" Dominates Box Office, \\\"Yogi Bear,\\\" \\\"How Do You Know\\\" Soft\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2010-12-19T03:01:01+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2010-12-19T03:01:01+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Far from a runaway smash, \\\"Tron Legacy\\\" nonetheless dominated the box office in its opening day Friday, scoring a total that eclipsed its nearest\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/12\/18\/tron-legacy-dominates-box-office-yogi-bear-how-do-you-know-soft\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News &amp; Charts, TV News &amp; Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
