[Guest El Satanico]

what...the...holy...FUCK

[BlackFlagg]

not a shocker it came in at #1, but g'damn, almost 50 mil?

[fazzle]

#1 October box office ever.

 

Damn. How the hell? I was expecting around $30 mil as well

[The Ghost of bps21]

That is surprising.

[Mecha Mummy]

...

 

...

 

Okay, it's time for me to admit that I have no idea what the fuck the people want.

[Guest El Satanico]

Of course we know what people want...they want mindless entertainment.

[razazteca]

The people want the 90 year old Leslie Nelson in parodies of course.

[justsoyouknow]

Scary Movie 3 makes, in one weekend, the total gross for Kill Bill since it opened?

 

I don't like that one bit.

[Youth N Asia]

$49 mill????

 

That doesn't make sense. After how rancid #2 was I thought people would stay away.

[BlackFlagg]

Next Week:

"The Human Stain" (Anthony Hopkins, Nicole Kidman)

And the re-release of Alien

[Tawren]

SM3 sucked ass. How the hell did it get 50 mil?

 

And how is Kill Bill already down to 5 mil?

[MrRant]

Leslie Nelson owns you.

 

But yes... 50 mil is a lot. I figured 20 or so at the most.

[Guest Urine Sane]

I knew TCM would stay close to the top.

[TheOriginalOrangeGoblin]

Jesus almighty. I'm shocked.

 

Leslie Nielsen = Draw!!

 

Oh yah!

[Mole]

It isn't rated R like the past ones, so maybe that helped.

[Guest Retro Rob]

Honestly, the Michael Jackson dude in the commercials is what drew people. When friends of mine saw that promo on TV, they litterally jumped out of their skin.

[Lil' Bitch]

1 - Scary Movie 3 DIM $49,704,624/$49,704,624

 

2 - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre NL $14,725,000/$51,176,000

 

What happened here?

[Guest Just J]

The people want the 90 year old Leslie Nelson in parodies of course.

EXACTLY!

[Mik]

The worst part is that the movie was so bad that I couldn't wait for it to end, and I generally like 90% of what I see in theaters. Just terrible.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Scary Movie 3 makes, in one weekend, the total gross for Kill Bill since it opened?

 

I don't like that one bit.

If it deflates QT's ego a little bit I'm all for it.

[TheOriginalOrangeGoblin]

I just wanna add that I'm happy Mystic River is holding on in the top and even happier that Beyond Borders, which looks atroscious, isn't in the top 10.

[Guest Mindless_Aggression]

Tarantino I believe has already made all the money back at the box office for both installments of the Kill Bill series. Not sure on that but yes, if he has an ego, it has hardly been deflated.

 

Scary Movie 1 and 2 = Rated R

 

Scary movie 3 = PG 13

 

Leslie Nielson = one hundred and 13. And still very funny.

Isn't Kill Bill his biggest success at the box office? So, I doubt this is going to bother him or his ego.

[tpww7]

Scary Movie was sold out at all 3 theaters I tried to see it at for 10 PM Friday Night. I ended up not seeing it at all.

[Damaramu]

Yeah it was sold out 30 minutes before showtime at the theater I went to....but that number....damn......*whistles*

[Guest Ghettoman]

Charlie Sheen is more over than homosexuality.

[EdwardKnoxII]

Scary Movie 1 and 2 = Rated R

 

Scary movie 3 = PG 13

 

Leslie Nielson = one hundred and 13. And still very funny.

 

That and the fact that the Wayons aren't in it. Cause I know quite a few of my friends hated them after SM 2 and the MTV Music Awards shit.

[Guest Gatornibs]

Damn and to think the only money I spent at the theaters this weekend was to see Rundown, but that's because the theater closest to my house wasn't showing Scary Movie 3!

[BlackFlagg]

I probably wouldn't have gotten into SM3 if I had to stand in line...luckily they were all teenagers and couldn't use the auto ticket machine so I was able to scoot ahead
