The couple started dating in 1989 on the set of “State of Grace” where they played lovers. In 1996 they got married.

Half the opening-weekend ticket buyers were older than 25 and three-fifths were male, Paramount said. Although pre-release “tracking” polls had indicated scant interest among older females, Moore said the crowd was “reasonably” balanced for a movie in the action genre.

Because of its hefty cost, including tens of millions in marketing, the movie will need to hold up well domestically and roll out strongly overseas to be considered a financial success.

“Beowulf” got off to a decent start abroad, grossing an estimated $17 million from 13 countries outside the United States and Canada, according to Warner Bros.
The movie opened No. 1 or No. 2 in most territories and fared especially well in Britain, where it took in $4.4 million, and South Korea, where it racked up $3.7 million.

In the United States and Canada, the movie played in 3-D at 742 of its 3,153 theaters. It was the first to be shown in three different 3-D formats from rivals Real D, IMAX and new competitor Dolby Laboratories.
“Beowulf” averaged some $43,000 per theater at locations with giant-screen IMAX 3-D systems.
At locations equipped with technology from Beverly Hills-based Real D, whose 3-D systems are the most widely used, it averaged $13,000 per theater. (No estimates were available from Dolby, whose systems were deployed at a smaller number of theaters.)

At venues without 3-D screens, by comparison, the movie averaged about $7,000.
Faced with essentially flat attendance since the modern-day peak in 2002, theater owners have scrambled to install 3-D technology, which is costly up front but enables them to charge ticket premiums of $2 or more.

Beowulf Sets New IMAX Record
IMAX Corporation today announced that "Beowulf: An IMAX 3D Experience" contributed a record-setting $3.58 million of the $27.5 million that the film grossed at the domestic box office through its opening weekend. The IMAX® 3D release played on 84 domestic IMAX screens and registered 13 percent of the film's overall box office on less than two percent of the total screens. This performance marks the highest percentage box office contribution to a Hollywood film's total opening weekend performance in IMAX's history. The IMAX per screen average through the three day weekend was $42,625.

"The weekend performance of 'Beowulf' in IMAX® theatres confirms that 3D is very good for IMAX, regardless of the other options available to consumers," said IMAX Co-Chairmen and Co-CEOs Richard L. Gelfond and Bradley J. Wechsler. "As 3D increasingly becomes top of mind with Hollywood filmmakers and studios, we believe IMAX will remain at the forefront - offering an unrivaled 3D experience that resonates with film critics, audiences and exhibitors."

Many IMAX theatres reported sold-out shows throughout the weekend, with several adding 2:00 a.m. screenings to meet audience demand. The film also performed well internationally, grossing an estimated $660,000 from 13 IMAX screens. Another 21 international IMAX engagements will open next week, followed by 7 more in the coming weeks.

"'Beowulf' in IMAX 3D has tapped into a wide audience, including the elusive tech-savvy 15 - 30 year-old demographic. Based on these early results, we are enthusiastic about the strong word of mouth and the film's potential legs in IMAX - particularly as we head into the holiday and heavy movie-going week ahead," said Greg Foster, Chairman and President of IMAX Filmed Entertainment. "Our partners at Paramount Pictures, Shangri-La Entertainment Warner Bros. Pictures, and Robert Zemeckis have delivered a movie that is ideally suited to IMAX 3D, and we're gratified moviegoers clearly agree."
