Various sources have reported that I AM LEGEND has become a box-office monster, grossing an estimated $76.5 million in its first weekend at 3,606 theaters for a per-site average of $21,224 (final figures will be released this afternoon). That’s the biggest three-day opening ever for a horror/creature-related film (outdoing the $72.1 million grossed by THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK back in 1997), a career-best starter for star Will Smith, a record for a December weekend debut…and if the figure holds, LEGEND has already outgrossed director Francis Lawrence’s previous movie CONSTANTINE.
I Am Legend opens here in the UK on Boxing day!
