No, I had no plans to see the movie at my local <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/imax-corporation/imax/nas">IMAX</a> (NASDAQ: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/imax-corporation/imax/nas">IMAX</a>) auditorium. The reason I was so excited is because I own shares of <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/the-walt-disney-company/dis/nys">Disney</a> (NYSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/the-walt-disney-company/dis/nys">DIS</a>). And I was praying that the film would firmly cement the Jonas Brothers in the collective consciousness of tweens across the globe. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, that didn't happen. In fact, the Jonas movie failed at the domestic box office. Don't even try to spin it. According to <a href="http://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/">Boxofficemojo</a>, the film came in second place with a little under $13 million (keep in mind I am working off estimates, final figures will be released later). <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/lions-gate-entertainment-corp/lgf/nys">Lions Gate Entertainment</a>'s (NYSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/lions-gate-entertainment-corp/lgf/nys">LGF</a>) latest Tyler Perry project, <em>Madea Goes to Jail</em>, was number one again for the second week in a row, grossing about $16 million. This is really, really disappointing. </p>
