The Call vs. Dead Man Down at the Box Office – Who Wins?

[CM Punk]

- WWE Studios’ The Call with Halle Berry and David Otunga came in at #2 behind “Oz” at the box office this weekend. The movie is estimated to draw $17.10 million on opening weekend.

In comparison, WWE Studios’ Dead Man Down opened last weekend with just $5.45 million. For this weekend, Dead Man Down dropped to #11 at the box office, drawing just a bit over $2 million.

The Call may end up doing over $45 million, meaning a profit for WWE Studios and Sony. BoxOfficeMojo.com reports that the demographics for The Call were 61% female and 53% were above the age of 30.

Pretty nice considering, "Dead Man Down" wasn't actually made by the WWE. Just promoted.

So Otunga draws? Hallie Berry or whatever it is has no effect on this, people paid to see big Dave in a policeman's uniform.

Both look somewhat interesting, to be honest. The reason The Call did better is because Halle Berry>Colin Farrell in general at the box office.
