I Am Number Four (DreamWorks/Touchstone/Disney) NEW [3,154 Theaters]
Friday $6.2M, Saturday $7.6M, Estimated Sunday $5.4M
Three-Day Weekend $19.2M, Estimated Four-Day Holiday $22M

DreamWorks’ first feature release since it reconstituted itself at Disney debuted, and rival studios dumped on it all weekend in emails to me. I Am Number Four was neck-and-neck with Unknown all Friday. Then it started dropping. But the PG-13 sci-fi flick finished the three-day weekend #2 with a “B+” CinemaScore (“A-” under age 25) and underperformed from the high $20sM hoped for by the producers. I don’t know why DreamWorks debuted a pic with no stars, a derivative storyline, and a budget which it claims was under $60M with tax credits. I do think it’s still too early to pass judgment on much-in-demand Alex Pettyfer, who’s the new “It” young guy for so many roles including the upcoming CBS Films pic Beastly. Too bad director DJ Caruso couldn’t do for him what hisDisturbia did for Shia LaBeouf’s film future. “We’ve got a well priced film with a new star that is for a targeted audience,” an upbeat Disney exec tells me. Meanwhile, the DreamWorks pic opened in eight territories this weekend, representing approximately 10% of the international marketplace.
