Wiki News/Early Estimates: Kick-Ass (But Kicking Only Some Ass)

The very first box office estimates are in for this weekend, and Kick-Ass is in the lead.

Featuring unconventional teenage “superheroes,” the comic book adaptation’s (estimated) $7.5 million Friday projects to a $19 million weekend.

That total would place ahead of another new release, Death At A Funeral, with $6 million in estimated receipts on Friday and $17.5 million expected for the weekend.

Both films were predicted to perform a bit better.

Rounding out the Top 5 are holdovers North Pole Elementary: The Sequel, Date Night and Clash of the Titans, while How to Train Your Dragon fell out of the top 5 as well as Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too? and Miley Cyrus' The Last Song.

Again, these are just very early estimates. Gossip Cop will continue to track the box office as it comes into focus.
