Hollywoodland opens at No. 2

Yahoo reports that Hollywoodland, the “other” Superman film, came in second at the box office this weekend:

With its $6 million opening, “Hollywoodland” opened about $1 million below the expectations of its distributor, Focus Features. The film centers on the mysterious death of “Superman” TV star George Reeves, played by Ben Affleck, whose surprise victory in the best-actor category at the Venice International Film Festival on Saturday night perplexed critics and journalists. Adrien Brody and Diane Lane also star. Focus Features is the art-house unit of General Electric Co.’s NBC Universal Inc.

The new supernatural thriller The Convenant took the top spot in what was a pretty dismal, yet typical for this time of year, week at the movies.

    The top ten films didn’t even break $50 million total. It was a BAD weekend for films.

    I wish we didn’t focus so much on the box office take. I saw Hollywoodland and enjoyed it.

    Yeah, I ended up Selling my Hollywoodland Stock as soon as it was adjusted for the weekend. A good move on my part. If you choose to share the love, reference Squashua.
