SEBRING, March 3, 2009 – The Fairmount Cinema 6 continues to dominate the Highlands County movie scene. It has made the right moves to nab the offerings that have most appealed to moviegoers.
The Fairmount hosted four of the top five box office hits the weekend of Feb. 27-March 1, including the champion, Madea Goes To Jail.
Despite a 60 % plus drop, Madea held on to the top spot with a take of $16.5 million, crushing Disney’s hopes for its Jonas Brothers 3D Concert.
Critics panned that concert release, and its take fell well short of Hannah Montana’s similar concert release of a year ago. The Jonas Brothers grabbed $12.7 million to finish second, but some experts expect a quick departure from the Top Ten. The Jonas Brothers is the only top five film not at the Fairmount.
Its Oscar win boosted sales for Slumdog Millionaire by 45 % across North America and gave it a weekend take of $12.15 million to finish third.
Taken continues to be the “sleeper hit” of the new year. Another $10 million weekend pushed Taken past the $100 million mark to a gross-to-date of $107.9 million. It finished fourth this weekend.
And He’s Just Not That Into You finished fifth with a $5.9 million take.
WHEREVER YOU GO, WHATEVER YOU SEE, HAVE A GREAT TIME AT THE MOVIES!!!
