12 Sideways $1,810,000/$6,020,244

--------------------

 

Out of the top 12: Alfie and A Shark's Tale.

 

I really didn't think National Treasure looked good enough to be #1, but apparently I don't know anything.

 

Bridget was only in 550 theaters last weekend, this weekend it's on almost 2,500. So not much of a dollar jump, but it held on to the same spot.

 

Seed of Chucky went from 4th to 9th in it's second week.

 

The Grudge topped $100 million this week while Shall We Dance and SAW went above $50 million.

 

As of right now The Incredibles is the 78th all time box office grosser. Right behind Snow White and right ahead of Tootsie.

 

Sideways is doing great buiness for only being on 279 screens. It was #12 last week as well only showing on 144 screens.

-Alexander

-Christmas with The Kranks

I'd say you were half right.

Nick Cage in Jerry Brukheimer movies always make profits.

I'm surprised and kind of sad Bridget didn't do that well.

 

It wasn't as good as the first obviously but it was very funny and deserved to do better

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

People actually went to National Treasure? I laughed hysterically at how stupid the plot was when I saw the first previews for it.

[Lil' Bitch 0]

To me, National Treasure is one of those movies that looks good in the trailer, but that's about it. Just nothing but hype all the way through until you get the crummy ending when the treasure is probably revealed to be something stupid.

[bob_barron 0]

But the trailer looked incredibly stupid

I'm starting to think you honestly have a vagina.

[bob_barron 0]

Why?

 

Because I like good movies? Sorry if that offends you

[Big Ol' Smitty 0]

Why?

 

Because I like ghey movies? Sorry if that offends you

*edited for accuracy*

I question whether any of you actually saw the first or second movies.

 

I don't go EWWWW CHICK FLICK and run away. If it's a great movie like Bridget Jones's Diary was- It's a great movie.

[Big Ol' Smitty 0]

I saw the first with an ex-girlfriend. I think my sperm count dropped significantly as a result.

[bob_barron 0]

I watched it once on TV cause there was nothing on and fell in love with it.

 

Hugh Grant is one of my favourite actors and Renee Zelwegger is my favourite actress so it's only a natural I would love the film. Colin Firth also gives a good performance even though Hugh Grant outclasses him at every turn.

 

Firth's performance in the sequel is much better as he doesn't have to compete with Cleaver this time around. Hugh Grant was amazing in Bridget 2- he plays the asshole so well.

 

Jim Broadbent also kicks ass Colin Jones. I didn't even think Renee was that great in Bridget 2 but Firth and Grant OWNED.

I think Alexander will do pretty well next week.

 

It better atleast.

[bob_barron 0]

Oliver Stone said he thinks it'll flop

[Art Sandusky 0]

I'm not letting anything get in my way of seeing it opening night. Alexander the Great is probably in my Top 3 favorite historical figures of all time.

[NYU 0]

It may very well flop.

 

Initial reviews have not been good.

Rise of the Phoenix is laughable. It uses Gilligan's Island logic to save the day. Hey let's make a new plane out of the old one instead of fixing the engine.

[bob_barron 0]

It's a remake I believe

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

Everything's a remake anymore. If Hollywood had an original thought it'd die of loneliness.

[Hank Kingsley 0]

Ditto.

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

- Christmas With The Kranks will open up at #1.

 

- Alexander will do just okay during it's opening weekend, in the end it won't make back it's budget.

[bobobrazil1984 0]

I saw National Treasure. It was not bad in a light kinda fun way. One of those turn your brain off movies, as a heist treasure hunt movie it was watchable. Nothing great though.

[Guest Smues]

National Treasure came in at #1? Gag. Am I the only one who thinks christmas with the Kranks looks absolutely pathetic? And sad to see The Incredibles finally drop out of the top spot, but it's still doing just fine. Craig T. Nelson owns!!

[bob_barron 0]

Christmas with the Kranks gives away the whole movie in the trailer.

[Guest Smues]

No shit, not that I had any interest in it anyway, but giving away in the trailer that OMG SHE'S COMInG HOME AFTERALL HO HO HO is really really stupid.

[bob_barron 0]

They skip Christmas.

People get mad.

Various things happen.

Daughter announces she's coming home.

They have 24 hrs to get ready for XMas.

Tim Allen learns the true meaning of XMas and everyone is happy.

 

Who would see the movie after all that is given away in the trailer? Honestly

[Ted the Poster 0]

I'd make a bisexuality joke here, but Kotz is probaby immune to them by now.

Don't forget the botox! That's sure to be a major plot point!

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Fucking remakes.

 

When are the going to bring back a remake good series, like BJ & the Bear...

Tim Allen and Christmas movies usually do well. I don't see why this one won't...
