...produced a mild upset. Clash of the Titans won the weekend with an actual $26.6 million (close to the Warner Bros. estimate) to Date Night's $25.2 million. Fox honchos had predicted that Tina and Steve would enjoy a $7.1 million Sunday date, which proved to be fully 30% higher than the $5.43 million the movie took in.

What I can’t handle is a higher-stakes combination of being stood up by a date without a plausible reason and being given the cold shoulder by a group of middle school girls for no reason.
