It's worth noting that "Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience" has tanked, with a $12.5 million opening weekend and a second weekend that dropped a staggering 77 percent to $2.8 million.
It's worth noting because "Coraline," the deliciously spooky stop-motion 3-D film based on Neil Gaiman's popular book, is in its seventh week doing better than "Jonas Brothers" and is now taking back some of the 3-D screenings that had been given over to the Disney Channel boys.
This is significant: "Coraline" marks the first time that a film made in 3-D has made way for another film in 3-D ("Coraline" was available only in 2-D in recent weeks), and then later returned to the 3-D screens.
"Coraline" is my favorite new release of 2009. I recommend it highly to those who haven't seen this tale of a brave, adventurous girl, to those who only caught it in 2-D, and to those enjoying their spring break.
See it in 3-D at AMC Southroads 20, Cinemark Tulsa and Starworld 20 currently, but keep checking our movie listings for changes. Check out this 2-D trailer, and imagine what "Coraline" looks like with an added dimension.
