Actually, we don't yet know who won the battle of Greek-myth fighting and rom-com fun. 20th Century Fox posted a weekend total for Date Night of $27.1 million at the North American box office, while Warner Bros. said that Clash of the Titans had earned $26,875,000. That's a difference of just $225,000, or less than 1%. The final, actual grosses will come out on Monday afternoon...
...MONDAY UPDATE: The final numbers 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.

...Date Night, directed by Shawn Levy of the Night at the Museum franchise, performed slightly above industry expectations, whichever slot it finally occupies. It will finish well ahead of Fey's 2008 star vehicle, Baby Mama, and if the estimates hold, it will have sold about the same amount of first-weekend tickets as Carell's first hit, The 40-Year-Old Virgin.

And though Date Night gleaned only a modest...
...considering that the movie got mixed-to-hostile reviews and a lowish B-minus CinemaScore rating, and that the geekosphere was vexed that Clash was converted at the last minute from 2-D to fake 3-D. (Call it faux-D.) Costing $125 million to make (compared with Date Night's $55 million), the movie has already earned $110 million in North America and another $45 million abroad. Action movies almost always do better in foreign markets than comedies. Baby Mama, for example, took in $60.5 million at home and only $3.7 million in the rest of the world...
