It appears that John Carter had a bit of a drop from its first weekend to its second. Disney just can't catch a break with sci fi movies. Oh well ...
Add On: The old entrants move down a notch as 21 Jump Street rakes in $35 million.
... 21 Jump Street easily wrested the domestic weekend crown from Universal and Illumination's hit Dr. Seuss' The Lorax, which has ruled the domestic box office the past two weekends. Lorax continued to do good business, coming in No. 2 with $22.8 million in its third outing for a domestic cume of $158.4 million ...
John Carter perched on the third rung of the box office ladder, dropped -55.2%, weekend to weekend.
Add On Too TIME gives its take on the weekend here.

If I'm not mistaken, just like John Carter, 21 Jump Street was also directed by animated film director(s) first time directing a live action film.
Probably it's first time ever we have the first three spots in box office taken by animated film directors.
John Carter at number 3!!!?
I know--I figured it'd be out if the top 10 by now.
I wish John Carter luck on week two, but I can't stand the fact that fanboys are, basically, twisting Disney's arm back for a sequel. I do not want to see a sequel for JC, just as I did not want a sequel for Prince of Persia.
and that bothers you why? Will someone force you to see the sequel if it gets made? ghtwesr
You are a douche.
Disney is doing a sequel to Muppets too.
wow, there was a sequel to prince of persia? the first was one of the worst movies Ive ever seen!...
