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.

who would waste 8 dollars to see bad acting?

I would, because I am... tomorrow.

 

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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!

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

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