3. It was #8 this weekend, on a lame-ass movie week

"Paranorman" crushed it, for instance. http://boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/ .

If you look at gross sales for opening weekends over the last year, it comes in at #138, way behind a ton of movies I never even heard of. http://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/past365.htm
