The box office may have been cooking last weekend, but it appears that the kitchen is now closed.
Last week’s big winner Think Like a Man reclaimed the #1 spot, trouncing the competition from four new films, including the Jason Segel/Emily Blunt rom-com The Five-Year Engagement, which I had pegged to gross a strong $26 million over the weekend. That won’t happen — in fact, the movie may not surpass said figure until three weeks into its run, let alone three days. Fellow openers The Pirates! Band of Misfits, The Raven, and Safe were also anemic. Check out the full chart after the jump…
