Disney's Tron: Legacy far and away topped the weekend box office with a $43.6 million opening from 3,451 locations, but that didn't take the sting out of an overall soft frame.
Overseas, Tron: Legacy grossed $23 million as it rolled out in 50% of the territories, for a worldwide total opening of $66.6 million. Imax theaters provided a record proportion of the total gross, or $12.5 million.
Warner Bros.' new 3D family pic Yogi Bear debuted to $16.7 million, while most had expected the family film to jump the $20 million mark. The movie, playing in 3,515 theaters, came in No. 2.
James L. Brooks' How Do You Know, from Sony, was an out-and-out disappointment in its opening. Placing No. 8, the romantic comedy opened to only $7.6 million from 2,483 locations. Picture stars Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson and Jack Nicholson.
Sony/GK Films' The Tourist even beat How Do You Know, grossing $8.7 million from 2,756 theaters in its second weekend to tie with Disney holdover Tangled for No. 5.
Weekend's other new wide entry The Fighter had an advantage over the rest in costing just $25 million to produce. The awards favorite came in No. 4 with $12.2 million as it expanded nationwide, playing in 2,503 theaters....
