It was a weekend where Hollywood’s love for mass destruction and chaos could not hope to keep up with real-life mass destruction and tragedy of a different sort. On the same day that the residents of Japan had to endure through one of the last century’s worst earthquakes, and subsequent tsunami, Sony Pictures revealed a new alien invasion pic centered on the heart of Los Angeles in the fictional world. And for their part, audiences chose Battle: Los Angeles as their escape from watching the real-life tragedy unfold on their TV sets. The action-adventure pulled in a strong $36.0 million in estimated sales over its first three days, a strong debut for Sony considering they kept its budget down to only around $70 million in coin.
