“The Monuments Men,” based on the nonfiction book by Robert Edsel and Brett Witter, was particularly popular with older moviegoers, with 75 percent of its audience aged 35 and older.
“It's right where we hoped to be,” said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony. “There's a lot of love for George and the ensemble cast.”
Sliding to third was the cop comedy “Ride Along,” with Kevin Hart and Ice Cube. After three straight weeks atop the box office, the Universal film earned US$9.4 million.
The Weinstein Co.'s bid for a young adult franchise, “Vampire Academy,” opened poorly with just US$4.1 million. The PG-13 film, based on Richelle Mead's young adult novels, is about mortal vampires at a boarding school.
Before opening in North America next weekend, Sony's “RoboCop” took in US$20.2 million overseas.
