Box Score: John Carter no match for The Lorax

With three new wide releases underperforming at the box office, Dr. Seuss' The Lorax [LORAX] repeated at the top with an estimated $39.1 million.  The animated environmental tale declined 44% in its second weekend, bringing its total gross to $122.0 million.

The $250 million sci-fi epic John Carter [OMARS] opened in second place with just $30.6 million.  The century old character bombed with young moviegoers and appealed primarily to older guys as its audience were 65% male and 60% over the age of 25.

The found footage comedy Project X [PROJX] finished third dropping 45% to $11.6 million.

The found footage horror Silent House [SILNH] debuted at the fourth spot with $7.0 million. However, viewers hated the film grading it 'F' on CinemaScore.

Dusted off the shelf after four years, A Thousand Words [TWRDS] grossed $6.4 million to open sixth overall.  The comedy attracted a crowd that was 55% females and 61% over the age of 25.
