Geo436 LOS ANGELES: Blowing stuff up never gets old in movies, as the death-defying pranksters from MTV’s reality series “Jackass” proved at the North American box office on Sunday.
“Jackass 3D,” the third installment in a feature series about a crew of thrill junkies, crushed forecasts by selling an estimated $50 million in tickets during its first three days of release across the United States and Canada, distributor Paramount Pictures said.
If projections hold up when final data are issued on Monday, the film will beat 2003′s “Scary Movie 3″ ($48.1 million) to rank as the biggest October opening of all time.
Pundits had forecast “Jackass 3″ would open in the $30 million range. The actual result ranks as the best opening since the Leonardo DiCaprio thriller “Inception” kicked off with $63 million three months ago.
