Clooney’s Leatherheads, co-starring Renée Zellweger and John Krasinski, debuted at No. 2 making just $13.5 million. Leatherheads, which received mixed reviews, attracted audiences in their 30s and 40s but failed to attract younger crowds.
“I’m disappointed for us, I’m disappointed for George. I think he’s a great guy and think he’s got tons of directing talent,” Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal, told the Associated Press. “I wish I could have that crystal ball and tell you what went wrong.” Leatherheads was almost beaten by Nim’s Island, the family adventure starring Jodie Foster and Abigail Breslin, which earned $13.3 million.

3. Nim’s Island, $13.3 million
4. Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who, $9.1 million
