Over the weekend, "Jack the Giant Slayer" was estimated to make around $28 million at the North American box-office. It was deemed too low for a tentpole picture especially Warner Bros. Pictures forked nearly $200 million to produce the over-budgeted flick.

Well, we now have word per THR that the final tally was actually lower. More like $27.2 million, yikes! 

"Jack the Giant Slayer" is following the footsteps of last year's big bloated event, Universal's "Battleship." Sure, "Jack" is much, much better than the Hasbro adventure, but still.

In general, all the new releases last weekend under-performed and underwhelmed. The trio of "21 & Over," "The Last Exorcism Part II," and "Phantom" all flopped. Including "Jack," the new flicks were no match to "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" which opened the same weekend last year. 

Here's the Top 10 Box-Office films for weekend of March 1st:

1. "Jack the Giant Slayer," $27.2 million. ($13.7 million international.)
