'Gnomeo and Juliet' Trumps 'Hall Pass' With $14.2 Million to Win Weekend
... Disney's "Gnomeo" grossed an estimated $14.2 million from 3,037 theaters for a cume of $75.1 million in its third weekend. The film, made by the now-shuttered Miramax and released under the Touchstone banner, fell only 26% from last weekend.
In the last six months, Disney has had back-to-back money-makers with two animated properties that had long, choppy developments. Only shows to go you that if the right talent gets paired with a property, something can be made out of it.

Talk about a sleeper hit. Good for Kelly Asbury and Starz.
Looks likely that Gnomeo will nose past $100 million, a huge success for this movie, though Rango is sure to cut heavily into next weekend's box office.
