LOS ANGELES — Love triumphed over action at the weekend box office with a No. 1 debut for the romantic drama “The Vow.” Studio estimates Sunday show that the love story starring Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum took in $41.7 million to come in ahead of two new action tales and the first 3-D “Star Wars” reissue. Landing a close second with $39.3 million was Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds’ action thriller “Safe House.” Coming in solidly at No. 3 was Dwayne Johnson’s family action sequel “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” with $27.6 million. And adding to George Lucas’ riches was the 3-D premiere of “Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace,” which was No. 4 with $23 million. That raises the lifetime domestic
total for “Phantom Menace to $454.1 million.
This was the first non-holiday weekend that four movies opened with more than $20 million each, said Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. The only other time when four new releases did that well was over Christmas weekend in 2008, he said. “It felt like a summer weekend to me,” Dergarabedian said. “This was
like a great big valentine from Hollywood to the audience, or from the audience to Hollywood.” The four big debuts maintained Hollywood’s strong business during the normally sleepy winter. Overall domestic revenues totaled $193 million, up 19.3 percent from the same weekend last year, when “Just Go with It” led with $30.5 million. So far this year, domestic receipts are at $1.2 billion, 19 per-
cent ahead of 2011’s. “I really believe people are in a movie-going mode,” said Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal, which released “Safe House.” ‘’There have been great choices so far this year. I feel honestly that the mild weather has helped them enjoy wintertime for what it is. They’re not stuck inside, they’re not snowed in. Maybe people like to get out of the home rather than cocooning.” Timed to Valentine’s Day on Tuesday, “The Vow” stars McAdams as a woman who awakens in the hospital after a car wreck with no memory of her husband (Tatum) and the last five years of her life.
Women accounted for 72 percent of the audience for “The Vow,” whose receipts in just its first two days exceeded the movie’s $30 million production budget. “There are certain movies that women, no pun intended, vow they are going to see, and this is that kind of movie,” said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony, whose Screen Gems banner released “The Vow.” ‘’I do think a lot of men are going to be seeing it on Feb. 14. It’s a great date movie, and I think the men who do see it on Valentine’s Day are going to be thoroughly entertained.” “The Vow” added $9.7 million in 20 overseas markets to bring its worldwide total to $51.4 million.
Amy Winehouse’s parents accept Grammy Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES — One of the Grammy show’s most poignant moments was one that TV viewers didn’t see. When Tony Bennett received the Grammy Sunday for best pop performance by a duo or group for his duet with Amy Winehouse, he invited the late singer’s parents to join him on stage during the awards ceremony’s pre-show segment. “We shouldn’t be here. Our darling daughter should be
here,” Winehouse’s father, Mitch, said after he and the singer’s mother, Janis, had embraced Bennett. His daughter was thrilled, Winehouse said, to have recorded the Grammywinning song “Body and Soul” with Bennett. Mitch Winehouse also noted Whitney Houston’s death Saturday and the recent passing of Etta James. “What can I say? There’s a beautiful girl band up in heaven,” he said.
