| No box office killing for big-budget "Jack the Giant Slayer" Sunday, Mar 03, 2013 11:32 AM PST  (Reuters) - "Jack the Giant Slayer," the first big-budget action film of the year, was anything but a killer at the weekend box office.

"Jack the Giant Slayer" also grossed $13.7 million from 1,824 screens in 10 Asian markets. ... Full Story | Top |
