Steve Jobs the movie

This last weekend was the 1st (and, some in Hollywoodland might say, the most important) full weekend that Danny Boyle’s Steve Jobs movie was in theaters nationally.

So what’s the wotwot?  Well, it’s not great. It’s not bad, either, with the film getting predominantly positive reviews from those supposedly in the know- critics and those folk. BUT the people who pay the monies- that’s you guys – were perhaps not in a very Steve Jobs mood over the weekend, with the disappointing box office being the proof in the pudding.

Early box office results show that the film is estimated to take about $7.3 million from about 2,500 theaters, placing it in 7th place for the weekend.

The expected take was more in the teens, but the movie is doing spectacularly well on the coasts and is also expected to do well over the long haul through awards season.

“We’re going to redouble our efforts to support these markets,” said Universal domestic distribution chief Nic Carpou. “It’s working great in these theaters now, and we want to make sure it continues to do so.”

We were not one of those boosting the box office sales over the weekend, but we will be giving you a review of the movie in the coming days!
