Box Office Results: October 21-23, 2011: Three Musketeers Bombs

The Three Musketeers vs. Paranormal Activity 3

Opening Thoughts (Written Before the Weekend): Am I the only one who things that the promos for The Three Musketeers (2011) sucks? See for yourself:

To top that off, the last live action Three Musketeers movie bombed in 1993, so I doubt that the 2011 remake is going to top Paranormal Activity 3.
