No 3D Glee but strong Final IMAX 3D

Apparently few people were interested in seeing Fox’s concert movie version of the TV series “Glee,” in 3D or otherwise, as the highly-touted movie did not even make the top 10 most popular movies in its opening weekend with just $5.7 mil.

More filmgoers were interested in seeing the latest round of grisly deaths in 3D in Warner’s “Final Destination 5,” spending $18.5 mil. domestically, including IMAX 3D theaters.

Meanwhile, three other 3D movies remained in the top 10, including another strong outing of $13.5 mil.  for Sony Animation’s “The Smurfs,” surpassing the $100 million mark after three weeks in domestic theaters, and another $60 mil. this week overseas for a global to-date total of $242 million, according to Hollywood.com Box Office.

Paramount’s “Captain America: The First Avenger” picked up another $7.1 mil, for a total domestic take of $157, and Warner’s “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2” rounded up another $6.9 mil. to move to $357 mil.
