‘Couples Retreat’ Saw Huge Box Office Success This Weekend
Posted on 11. Oct, 2009 by CSS in Entertainment, Movies
Vaughn’s Couples Retreat banked the year’s biggest opening for a romantic comedy, with a much-bigger-than-expected $35.3 million, No. 1 Friday-Sunday debut.
Couples Retreat succeeded with the help of 3,000 screens, and a reputed $70 million budget, the better to capture life at an exotic vacation resort. Paranormal Activity succeeded on the “strength” of 159 theaters, and a $11,000 budget, the better (or lower) to invite comparisons to The Blair Witch Project.
