Mirror, mirror on my wall. Which Snow White will be the most success of all?
The first salvo in Hollywood’s Snow White war was launched this weekend. Several takes on the popular fairy tale are planned in the coming months and, so far, audiences seem receptive.
Snow White and the Huntsman took a big bite out of the box-office with an opening of $56.2 million. That was more than enough to defeat the next two films.
In its second week, Men in Black 3 took in another $29.3 million. The Avengers assembled another $20.2 million. With this weekend’s take, the film has passed The Dark Knight as the third highest grossing film of all time. (Though Batman will get his chance to reclaim the mantle later this summer)
Battleship continued to sink in fourth place with $4.8 million.
Rounding out the top five was The Dictator with $4.7 million.
