The Taking Of Pelham 123 couldn't manage a first or even second-place box office finish -- the John Travolta/Denzel Washington thriller stumbled to a $25 million, third-place showing in its opening weekend.
The film finished a distant third behind The Hangover ($33.4 million) and Up ($30.5).
Industry experts speculated that the lack of promotion from Travolta -- still recovering from the tragic death of son Jett earlier this year -- might have contributed the lack of buzz that led to the remake's mediocre opening.

After the earsplitting cacophony of Terminator Salvation and the bulging veins of Wolverine, Disney Pixar’s Up is a summer breeze, a welcome breath of fresh air. In this clever and touching animated pic, our heroes are a curmudgeonly 78-year-old balloon salesman and a chunky 8-year-old Asian kid. And it totally works. There hasn’t been an onscreen odd couple this charming since Midnight Cowboy. Okay, just kidding. But seriously, you’re going to love these two together.
