Sony Does Well At Box Office (Grown Ups + Karate Kid)

Three weeks ago, when “The Karate Kid” opened, we reported the fantastic box office result of the movie, opening with $55 million, well above the other big releases. 3 weeks later, Sony has followed up with a new comedy, starring Adam Sandler. Though not able to top “Toy Story” at its second week, “Grown Ups” pulled in $40.5 million, making it the #1 comedy in the US and 2nd ranking behind Toy Story 3. The Karate Kid on its 4th weekend held 4th place with a decent $15.5 million, putting its total gross so far at $135.7 Million. Not bad for young star Jaden Smith.
