HYUGE Movie Cash Haul this Weekend

[The Mandarin 0]

According to Box Office Mojo, Shrek 2 beat out The Day After Tomorrow by three million dollars this weekend.

 

The really impressive part is that Day After Tomorrow made SEVENTY MILLION DOLLARS. Adding it to Shrek 2's 73.1 million makes this the most successful box office weekend ever (or at least 1982).

 

That's crazy. I didn't even bother seeing either of them.

[Guest Choken One]

who would waste 8 dollars to see bad acting?

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

I would, because I am... tomorrow.

 

And for the record, that $8 that people "waste" is for special effects.

[Guest Choken One]

put a DVD in the microwave if you special effects then.

Another interesting number is that The Day After Tomorrow set the record for the biggest opening by a movie that didn't open in #1, and basically doubled the previous record in that category.

That will end up costing you a lot more than 8 bucks.

Then put one of those AOL CD's you get in the mail in your microwave.

Smart-Ass.

not unless you got one of those 3.99 dvds at the bargain bin at Wal-Mart...where Kung Fu and Mariah Carey movies go to die.

I think Day After Tomorrow probably benefitted heavily from people showing up at the theatre only to find that Shrek 2 was sold out.

[Guest El Satanico]

Sure Shrek 2 being sold out probably sent alot of people over to The Day After Tomorrow, but it wouldn't amount for that much of the total.

That doesn't really make sense. Shrek 2 made what, 120 million last weekend? If it was selling out all over the place this week, how would there have been space for almost twice as many viewers last week?

TDAT is just lucky that theatres don't give refunds.

[Downhome 0]

Who is the goober here that predicted that TDAT wouldn't make anything but like, 10Mil or whatever they said?

 

You know who you are, show yourself!

These stats probably aren't correct anyway... there is no mention of "Soul Plane"... wait a second...

The fact that "The Day After Tomorrow" made 70 million makes me lose faith in humanity a little.

 

Luckily, the fact that Shrek 2 beat it restores that faith.

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

Harry Potter crushes them both next weekend.

[WrestlingFan4Ever 0]

Fuck Harry Potter

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

Another one of those Potter movies is coming out? Yippie...

[The Mandarin 0]

Who is the goober here that predicted that TDAT wouldn't make anything but like, 10Mil or whatever they said?

 

You know who you are, show yourself!

I'm pretty sure said goober also said that Soul Plane would finish second.

 

Show yourself, goober!

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

I don't think Day After Tomorrow will make that much money $6 million max. Who is in it Jake Galafjfioealgjalhkus and Dennis Quad?

 

Razateca, show yourself...

 

Anyway.

 

Next Week:

 

1. Harry Potter 3

 

2. Shrek 2

 

3. The Day After Tomorrow

 

4. Troy

 

5. Raising Helen

[Hogan Made Wrestling 0]

I wonder if next week could be another record breaker. Could top 3 go something like:

 

1. Harry Potter 3 90 million

2. Shrek 2 45 million

3. Day After Tomorrow 35 million

 

or are those projections too high? That would be 170 million for the top 3 movies alone.

[razazteca 0]

I'm in hiding with heat stroke......

 

Harry Potter $80 million

Day After Tomorrow $15 million

 

Next week.

[Eclipse 0]

I saw Day After Tomorrow. It was everything I expected.

 

And if the movie sucked, I wouldn't have felt bad. Thank god for 5 dollar theaters around here...
