How Did Robert Pattinson’s Water For Elephants Do At The Box Office?

Posted on April 24, 2011 by Parisa Michelle

Update 5/22: To see the latest Box Office Sales for Water for Elephants, click here.
Robert Pattinson brings in moviegoers by the millions for the Twilight series, but does he have Box Office draw when starring opposite a leading actress not named Kristen Stewart? Well, looks like he can do pretty darn well even without his life partner by his side in a movie.

Pattinson and co-star Reese Witherspoon‘s Water for Elephants premiered this weekend and the $40 million romantic drama, based on Sara Gruen’s novel, has already raked in an estimated $17.5 million – an amount much higher than expected for its genre.

“Adult films usually don’t sprint out of the gate. We did,” Fox executive Bert Livingston told eOnline. “I think being on bestseller list twice helped.”

Before you credit his co-star Witherspoon with the draw, remember, her How Do You Know lost a ton of money in 2010. The film had cost $120 million to make but only grossed less than $50 million worldwide. So, looks like Pattinson may actually have a career once the Twilight movies come to a close…

Here’s how the other movies did at the Box Office Friday-Sunday (April 22- 24, 2011):

Rio, $26.8 million
Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Big Happy Family, $25.8 million
Water for Elephants, $17.5 million
Hop, $12.5 million
Scream 4, $7.2 million
African Cats, $6.4 million
Soul Surfer, $5.6 million
Insidious, $5.4 million
Hanna, $5.3 million
Source Code, $5.1 million
