Watchmen disintegrated 67 percent to an estimated $18.1 million for $86 million in ten days, trailing all previous superhero movies that debuted in the $50 million range through the same point. For perspective, 300, which Watchmen was oft compared to, fell 54 percent to $32.9 million in its second weekend (for a $129.2 million total), and, among major comic book movies, only Hellboy II: The Golden Army and Hulk had steeper drop-offs. The weekend further cemented Watchmen's status as a movie with much more limited appeal than other superhero pictures, rooted in its non-mainstream source material and its diffuse storyline and marketing. Watchmen's 124 IMAX theaters held a bit better than the rest. They were down 58 percent, accounting for an estimated $2.3 million of the weekend and $9.5 million of the total.

Seriously though...babies and movies are a bad idea, get a damn sitter for two hours! My wife and I have never brought our kids when they were babies to the movies. It's just inconsiderate to others. Not bad enough you have to contend with the other idiots who are constantly on the phone or using laser pointers on the screen. OR the time someone brought a barking dog when I saw LOTR The Two Towers! That's pretty much when I gave up going to the movies!
