Friday Box Office: This Is OK

Is This Is It's Friday haul of $7,900,000 a success? On the one hand, it's good enough for first place, but on the other, expectations for a higher gross were dramatically inflated. Many box office pundits are pointing out that This Is It will most likely trail the total gross of the Hannah Montana concert film -- an odd comparison to be sure, since the only overlap in their target audiences came from the adults who dropped their kids off at the mall for Hannah. How many 10-year-olds do you know who were super psyched for Michael Jackson's swan song? The full Friday numbers, after the jump:
