Projections: 'Men in Black 3' Primed for No. 1

3 Dec, 2012 By: John Latchem

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment’s Men in Black 3 should top the disc sales charts for the week ending Dec. 2 after a $179 million haul at the domestic box office.

MIB 3 was released on a Friday, but the shorter time to influence the reporting period doesn’t seem to hamper most titles deployed under the strategy.

Universal’s animated ParaNorman, with a $55.8 million box office cume, is the biggest title among the week’s other new releases, which include Anchor Bay’s Lawless and Lionsgate’s Step Up Revolution.
