Box office Blog: Bale-full weekend

"Yuma" corrals slow weekend Audiences gave a collective yawn towards last week’s new releases, with “3:10 to Yuma” topping the box office with an unimpressive $14.1 million. That’s awfully low for a well-reviewed vehicle starring Christian Bale and Russell Crowe, but considering the pleasant weather and people’s general disinterest in Westerns, $14 million isn’t too shabby. $5.5 million, however, is pretty shabby, though, and that’s all that the repulsive action flick “Shoot ‘Em Up” took in over the weekend to land at No. 6. (Smart move, America.) But the weekend’s big, big, big loser was “The Brothers Solomon,” an occasionally funny comedy that brought in just over $500,000. Yikes. Did you strap on your spurs and go see “3:10 to Yuma”? How do you think “Shoot ‘Em Up” compares to that other Clive-Owen-protecting-a-baby movie, “Children of Men”?
