'Real Steel,' 'Footloose' duke it out for No. 1

The robot boxers of "Real Steel" and the dancers of "Footloose" are in a tight fight for the box-office title. The Hugh Jackman tale about machines in the boxing ring took in $16.3 million, which would make it the No. 1 movie for the second-straight weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. But "Real Steel" came in barely ahead of the remake "Footloose," which opened with $16.1 million.

Senh: Like I said in my previous post, I knew "Real Steel" will come out on top because of the weekend business. Teens tend to rush out during the opening day, where as families tend to wait until the weekends. Still, I'm not sure if "Real Steel" is holding up well enough to make back its $110M production budget. It's doing well, probably a lot better than most people's expectations, but the budget's pretty high. Hugh Jackson hasn't proven that he can draw a huge audience when he's not Wolverine - that is, until "Real Steel."

Boxing robots take title Jackman’s ‘Real Steel’ earns $27.3M; ‘Ides of March’ does $10.4M

Boxing robots are the undisputed champions at the weekend box office. According to studio estimates Sunday, Hugh Jackman’s “Real Steel,” set in a near-future when robot fighters have replaced humans in the ring, debuted at No. 1 with $27.3 million. “Real Steel” added $22.1 million overseas for a worldwide total of $49.4 million. The movie casts Jackman as a former boxer reluctantly thrown together with his young son as they turn a junkyard robot into a world-class contender.
