Hmmm.....I thought Charlie's Angels II would get more than $38 million. In the 40 millions for sure. 50 million was a possibility. Has to be considered a little disappointing

 

And the Hulk wound up getting screwed by word of mouth. It's main audience is kids, teens, and young adults. Kids look for a lot of action and, if there's a story, a simple one. Most teens don't want to have to think so much in a movie that shouldn't require a lot of thinking - it's a comic book movie, dammit. And while some young adults might have liked the movie, they're not really the ones who will go back and rewatch a movie over and over.

 

Kids and teens heard about how detailed and confusing some of the storylines were, and what few action scenes there were, that they stayed away from seeing it. Ang Lee alienated his main audience by making such a complex *SLOW* storyline without enough action to pay it off. Can't say I was surprised with this big dropoff....

[Guest fazzle]

Shocked at how well 28 Days Later did, considering how few theaters it was in.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

I called it!! I had a feeling 28 Days Later would break the Top 5, but no one else thought so!

[TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0]

i'm shocked Bruce Almighty is hanging on in the top 5.

 

So y'all think Angels can withstand T3 as number one?

[Guest GameCop]

I'm guessing T3 will make 85 million in its first five days ( it opens on Wed. July 2)

[Guest Mik at Cornell]

Hell no.

[Guest GameCop]

Why not? The last Terminator film (T2) opened 12 years ago. Most people regard T2 as a classic film and coupled with good to great reviews for T3, I don't see why T3 can't perform very well at the box office.

[Guest El Satanico]

So y'all think Angels can withstand T3 as number one?

You must be joking. It premiered at 38 million and unless it got amazing word of mouth which I doubt, it will drop at least 5 million next week.

 

T3 will get 40 million without a sweat.

14. From Justin to Kelly -- $600,000/ down -77.9%

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!

Spider-Man, Matrix Reloaded, and Other Movies have ruined it for everyone else. Not that long ago $60M and $40M were great openings, but now that's almost considered a bomb (assuming the movie in question was hyped).

[Guest MarvinisaLunatic]

Anyone up for a laugh?

 

"Finding Nemo" held up well in third place with $13.9 million. With $253.9 million in the bank, the animated adventure is on track to pass "The Matrix Reloaded" as the year's top-grossing movie.

 

HA HA!

Having seen the movie yesterday, I'd have to agree. There was nothing really bad about the movie - in terms of story it was great, and Jennifer Connelly looked her usual fine self - but there was too much talking and not enough action.

 

Whoever made the comment about Hulk being an "action movie chick flick" got it right.

There's truth to that, but DVD is also to blame. Now Hollywood is looking to get 2-3 big weeks and rush the thing to video as quickly as 3-4 months later (see: The Real Cancun). Hey, I like DVD as much as anybody here, but it's changed the way Hollywood thinks about pushing movies.

Actually I was joking.

 

But seriously despite how much I want T3 & Bad Boys 2 to do huge numbers(I'm sick of PG13 action movies) I have a feeling T3 will underperform. Maybe 40-50 million.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

I'm not suprised the Hulk took a dive. I downloaded the movie and it was soooooo boring.

[Guest El Satanico]

I hope T3 under performs...It looks dreadful and I'd like to see it "bomb"

[Guest Youth N Asia]

12. Daddy Day Care -- $2,300,000/ up 117%

What's wrong with this picture.

[Guest Downhome]

28 Days Later is doing better than I thought it would be, and thank God it's doing better than that pile of shit known as House of 1000 Corpses, bwahahahaha. Hell, it almost topped it in one week.

[Guest Vyce]

HAPPY I am that Charlie's Angels didn't even make 40 mill.

 

HAPPY I am that 28 Days Later did as well as it did, given that it's a) a zombie film (the genre has its fans, but it's not exactly mainstream fare) and b) it's foreign.

 

DISTRAUGHT I am that Hulk did so poorly. That really upsets me.....I actually loved Hulk - thought it was as good as X2 (and, in fact, had a bit better of a story altogether), and with such a low second-week take I'm afraid we may not see a second film on the character.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

I thought The Hulk's story was too boring. I just couldn't make myself care about the characters at all.

[Guest fazzle]

12. Daddy Day Care -- $2,300,000/ up 117%

What's wrong with this picture.

It was also in 50% more theaters this week than last week though.

[Guest Razor Roman]

It also wasn't a terrible movie. Cute enough for parents to enjoy, and it had little kids in it so the kids loved it. Steve Zahn rules, also. :-)

House of 1,000 stats as off last weekend.

 

-#41 highest grossing movie of last week

-$50,634 in ticket sales last week

-$12,526,334 made overall overall

-been out 11 weeks

-and as of last week it was on 94 screens

 

Oh, and might I mention it sucked balls.

HA HA!

Why is that funny? Nemo was rated PG and it was a disney movie, thus every child in America had to see it as well as their parents.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

I tried to download Nemo for my sister, but I think Disney loaded the net with a bunch of fakes that don't work...I did download Rugrats go Wild though

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

I hope everyone who thinks they "know" T3 will suck eats some crow when it comes back. Because an overwhelming majority says its great.

[Guest El Satanico]

An overwhelming majority impresses me not...I'll watch static before I'd watch T3.

[Guest Retro Rob]

I thought the T3 trailer was interesting.

[Guest starvenger]

I thought the T3 trailer was interesting.

Really? All I could think of is "John Connor looks like a young Dr. Bashir"...

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

My problem with T3 is the special effects look reall amateur in the previews so far. They don't look good at all.

 

I don't know if they're just little effects done just for the trailers or not though.
