Martian pulls in impressive weekend box-office returns
As I had predicted, Christopher Lloyd's "My Favorite Martian" fared quite well at the box office this past weekend. With estimated returns for the four-day weekend of $11.1 million, I'm sure Disney is quite pleased with the results. February is usually a dumping ground for films that studios don't quite know what to do with or how to market them. The film wrapped principle photography way back in late 1997, and then collected dust over a year before Disney decided to finally release it. I caught the film over the weekend, and enjoyed it thoroughly, and I'm glad to see that audiences agreed with me. I wouldn't be surprised to see the film reach upwards of $50 million, and if that does happen, I suspect that Disney would consider a sequel due to the way the film was left open for one. Lloyd's "Uncle Martin" is a wonderful combination of "Doc Brown" and "Uncle Fester", and certainly adds to his huge
portfolio of memorable characters.
"My Favorite Martian" kicked off "Christopher Lloyd Month", which will be followed by Lloyd's highly anticipated appearance on "Spin City" February 23. After that, tune in to NBC on February 28 for Lloyd's performance in "Alice in Wonderland" as the "White Knight". And March 12 wraps up the month by bringing Lloyd back to theaters in "Baby Geniuses" as the devilish "Dr. Heap", reteaming him in a sense with Kathleen Turner ("Jessica Rabbit" from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?).
