The lure of a new New Moon trailer didn't hook much business for Vanessa Hudgens' Bandslam, which despite good reviews debuted with just $2.3 million at the weekend box office, per estimates, and failed to finish in the Top 10. Or even the Top 12.
District 9, meanwhile, had a fantastic start, with the $30 million Peter Jackson-produced alien flick grossing $37 million and handily topping the likes of G.I. Joe.
As for Bandslam, its bad weekend probably started on Thursday. When the New Moon trailer was leaked online.
