Big Fish is #1? I'm happy to see that.

 

My Baby's Daddy didn't do that bad. Middle of the pack isn't too bad, unless it drops alot next week.

"Teacher's Pet"

I cannot wait...I'm a mark for this show.

 

And I'm glad that Chasing Liberty shit failed and Big Fish got #1. Hopefully word of mouth and strong advertising will keep Big Fish going for a while.

My Baby's Daddy looked like ass...I hope it's completly out of the top 10 next week.

 

And Torque looks awful. They already bombed Biker Boyz, and this looks even worse. And I've always thought Ice Cube was so-so in acting...but him trying to sound so hard in the previews just sounds funny.

11 and 12

 

11 Peter Pan $4,076,000/$39,904,000

12 Calendar Girls $3,600,000/$12,300,000

 

NOTE:

 

Peter Pan cost $100+ million to make, so you can call this a huge bomb.

 

Big Fish was on only 2406 screens. ROTK was on 3532. My Baby's Daddy wasn't on very many (1447), which was 1000 less then Cold Moutain, which only beat it by $80,000.

It hasn't dethroned it yet, seems the studio may have inflated their numbers.

 

ROTK could still end up #1 when the final numbers come in on Monday.

According to these numbers it has, and it's all we have to go by right now. We'll see on Monday though, but either way, I'm glad that Big Fish made as much as it did.

 

And MoleSlayer, I saw Big Fish and I loved it...one of my favorite films of all time. For the first time in my life, the people I was in the theater with (which was PACKED), actually clapped and cheered at certain things. It was just awesome, one of my favorite filmgoing experiances ever.

I hope it does stand

 

Cause god knows I don't want TORQUE to be the movie that does it.

 

Man, that movie....could that be any stupider to look at?

Hey, don't bitch about Torque!

 

Well, that is unless you do it MORE intense, ugh. I hate movies like that, HATE em.

Some of the reviews I read made it out to be a regular ol' Burton film.

You say that like it would be a bad thing.

Peter Pan may be a "bomb" in the makers eyes, but it's a fantastic movie and they should be proud.

That happened during RoTK.

 

I hate it when people clap at the end of the movie, it feels wrong.

Did anyone actually see Big Fish?

I saw Big Fish Friday night and thought it was wonderful. It was a great story and told the right way.

 

As a side, I don't like when people clap at the end of movies either. There was scattered applause at the end of Big Fish and it just feels weird to me.
