Titans opens with $4.2 million opening

MUMBAI: Warner Bros.‘ 3D action fantasy Clash of the Titans opened stupendously and logged an estimated $4.2 million from screenings on Thursday evening and midnight in about 3,000 domestic theaters.

Meanwhile, the week’s second release, Disney‘s The Last Song collected $4.2 million in its second day of release. The film lapped up $9.3 million since it released on Wednesday.

At most places, Titans played only in 2D in the absence of 3D screens. But Friday onwards, at least half of its 3,700 weekend engagements will have the Sam Worthington-starrer film in 3D in a minimum of one multiplex screen.

Titans registered a record $31,000 in Guam, a traditional bellwether market for film releases.

Some reviewers, however, aver that this film is pale in comparison to the last edition.
