Jack the Giant Slayer Climbs to Top of Box Office

BOX OFFICE

(Warner Bros.)

Jack the Giant Slayer will debut atop another relatively weak box office weekend.

The fantasy adventure starring Nicholas Hoult is expected to earn approximately $24 million, according to estimates, which would put it comfortably ahead of last week’s champ Identity Thief ($9.2 million), as well as new releases 21 & Over ($8.5 million) and The Last Exorcism Part II ($8 million).

Dwayne Johnson’s Snitch is tracking toward a fifth place finish at roughly $7 million.

It’s a tightly packed chart after that.

The romance Safe Haven is neck-and-neck with both the Oscar-winning Silver Linings Playbook and the animated Escape From Planet Earth.

All three movies are expected to earn about $6 million.

A Good Day to Die Hard should be in the #9 spot with $4.2 million or so, followed by the sci-fi thriller Dark Skies at $3.5 million.

Gossip Cop will have updates.
