Paramount’s ‘Jackass 3D’ earns a massive $22 million on Friday!
Assuring the franchise its third number one debut with a one day figure that nearly equals the first ‘Jackass’s’ number one total weekend box office of $22.8 million back in October of 2002, ‘Jackass 3D’ has exceeded all expectations. ‘Jackass: Number Two’ also opened at number one in late-September of 2006 with $29 million.
With approximately 2,300 of the 3,081 theatres showing the film in 3D, the “in your face” factor provided by the technology was clearly the key the movie’s unprecedented success. An incredible total weekend gross that could wind up in the mid-$40 million range will make this the biggest ‘Jackass’ of them all.
