The Karate Kid is No. 1 at the Box Office

Box Office: Karate Kid High Kicks the Competition

by 2

I bet Will Smith is mighty proud of his son this morning! His son Jaden's reboot of The Karate Kid ran away with the box office this weekend, earning $56 million (it's a surprising sales number at least to me, since I wasn't that jazzed about the movie). The family flick beat out the other big release, The A-Team, which came in second with $26 million.

Last weekend's champ Shrek Forever After slipped to No. 3 with $15.8 million. Get Him to the Greek and The Killers rounded out the rest of the top five with $10.1 million and $8.1 million, respectively.

The most was excellent and it was sold out at the $1.00 movies. So check it out this fall and winter with your family.
It's the start of summer. School is done. The kids are out. So it's expected that a family film will be #1 at the box office.
