That's a cheap movie, considering the source material. Add international revenue plus future DVD sales (most likely with Millar's commentary) and it is a success. 77% on RottenTomatoes. Marketing could have been better. Second week will show if word-of-mouth helps. Ultimate criteria for success: how many "Hit Girl" costmes are seen at CCI:SD.

That means Carmike isn't showing any of their films until the dispute is resolved.

Actually, How to Train Your Dragon opened about a month ago (this weekend was its fourth), so it taking the lead again was a bit of a surprise. “It’s safe to say that Kick-Ass isn’t quite performing to expectations, battling for the number one spot against a movie that opened last weekend.”
