Six full weeks into 2012, domestic box office continues to run well ahead of last year's anemic pace and now has moved slightly ahead of the comparable period's average for the last several years. The Vow officially opened at #1 with $41,202,458 the first three days (missing the studio estimate of $41,700,000 issued Sunday morning). Safe House was close behind at #2 with $40,172,720 (well ahead of the studio estimate of $39,300,000). Journey 2: The Mysterious Island opened in third place with $27,335,363 (extremely close to the $27,550,000 studio estimate). The Phantom Menace in 3D officially opened in fourth place with $22,469,932 million (not surprisingly missing the $23,000,000 studio estimate).
