If you read my Friday box office report, then you already knew that “Brave” would come in at #1, over tripling the gross of its nearest competitor (“Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted”). Thus, it should be of more interest to you that Woody Allen’s “To Rome with Love” grossed a bang-up $379,000 in its initial five-theater bow, the best platform opening since “Moonrise Kingdom.” Whether people are genuinely interested in the material this time around or just hoping that Allen was able to replicate the magic of “Midnight in Paris” (which most feel he failed at, given the film’s 54% Rotten Tomatoes rating), only time will tell. And going back to “Moonrise Kingdom” — Wes Anderson’s latest had another solid expansion this weekend, coming in just outside the top 10 with $3.4 million, for a sturdy per-theater-average of $8,635.
