Posted By: How May I Help You NC on April 23, 2012 FEATURED Content By Amy Kaufman, Los Angeles Times April 23, 2012 Moe, Larry and Curly couldn't do it. Neither could Snow White, an army of Greek gods or a baby-faced Leonardo DiCaprio. After four weeks, the film finally able to dethrone "The Hunger Games" at the box office was "Think Like a Man," an ensemble relationship comedy about five ethnically diverse couples. The movie's success surprised many in Hollywood over the weekend, because the picture came in more than $10 million ahead of industry projections with what distributor Sony Pictures estimated to be a $33-million debut. Heading into the weekend, the PG-13 film was expected to be in a tight race for the top spot with the romantic tear-jerker "The Lucky One." But that film, starring Zac Efron as a Marine on a mission to track down a woman he feels protected him during war, ended up grossing $22.8 million — a respectable figure and on par with what pre-release audience surveys had suggested.
