The Jonas Brothers are losing the expectations game.

The band’s new concert movie, Jonas Brothers: The 3D Experience, grossed an estimated .8 million Friday, an unspectacular opening day that barely held off the Tyler Perry holdover Madea Goes to Jail for the No. 1 spot, and forced box-office analysts to revise their weekend forecasts downward.

Where once a million Friday-Sunday take was considered possible, if not likely, for Jonas Brothers, Exhibitor Relations’ Jeff Bock now said the movie was looking at a million three-day opening— million, if Saturday-Sunday business picks up substantially.

"When you factor in the ticket prices," Bock said, "you’re talking about a movie that’s underpeforming."

Jonas Brothers is playing a 1,200-plus 3-D-equipped and IMAX theaters, where tickets cost -18 each, about twice the national average.

Compared to last year’s Miley Cyrus concert movie, which also played exclusively on 3D and IMAX screens, the Jonas Brothers’ effort is looking especially lame. On its opening day, Cyrus’ concert movie grossed nearly twice as much money (.7 million) on nearly half as many screens as the Jonases’.

The complete weekend standings and estimates will be out tomorrow.

At the Star Trek panel at WonderCon, director J.J. Abrams was asked about the progress on making sequel to their monster hit (ha ha) Cloverfield, which opened last year to set a couple of box office records.

"We’re actually working on an idea right now," Abrams told the packed crowd. "The key obviously at doing any kind of sequel, certainly this film included, is that it better not be a business decision. If you’re going to do something, it should be because you’re really inspired to do it. It doesn’t really have to mean anything, doesn’t mean it will work, but it means we did it because we cared, not because we thought we could get the bucks. We have an idea that we thought was pretty cool that we’re playing with, which means there will be something that’s connected to ‘Cloverfield,’ but I hope it happens sooner than later because the idea is pretty sweet."
