‘San Andreas’ stomps ‘Aloha’ at the BO with $53M domestic take!!

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson proved he can open a tent pole film all by his not-so-little lonesome with San Andreas‘s estimated, beefy $53M domestic take. That $14K per theater average, in 3,777 venues, was much better than the predicted $40M for the Warner Bros. disaster flick. 44% of that was attributed to 3D and, with an A- CinemaScore, it looks like the film will have … Continue reading ‘San Andreas’ stomps ‘Aloha’ at the BO with $53M domestic take!!
