CBright7831 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 THE ISLAND made 4 million on Friday and a total of 12 million dollars over the weekend. It ended up on fourth place. Even Fantasic Four made more money: 01 1 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory WB $28,300,000 02 2 Wedding Crashers NL $26,200,000 03 3 Fantastic Four Fox $12,275,000 04 N The Island DW $12,100,000 05 N Bad News Bears Par. $11,500,000 06 4 War of the Worlds Par. $8,825,000 07 N Hustle and Flow ParC $8,100,000 08 N The Devil's Rejects Lions $7,000,000 09 5 Batman Begins WB $4,730,000 10 12 March of the Penguins WIP $4,300,000
Guest Smues Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 Yikes wasn't its budget 120 million? Ouch. Granted I was rooting for it to tank, but I couldn't have predicted that kind of flop. Gee I wonder if maybe giving away the ENTIRE plot in the trailers had anything to do with it.
Lord of The Curry Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 Eat a dick, barron. An R rated action movie with a topless Johansen scene would've guaranteed a #1 spot.
Dangerous A Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 Eat a dick, barron. An R rated action movie with a topless Johansen scene would've guaranteed a #1 spot. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am going to have to agree. Topless Johanssen >The World
razazteca Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 I'm surprised that Hustle & Flow was held to under 10 million.
Dangerous A Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 I'm surprised that Hustle & Flow was held to under 10 million. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not. Hardships of a pimp? Not appealing enough to spend $8-$10 to watch. This is a movie I'm glad it fell on it's face, and I'm a huge hip hop fan. This just didn't appeal to me on any level.
bob_barron Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 This is a movie I'm glad it fell on it's face Why? It's getting great reviews, won the audience award at Sundance and is getting Terrence Howard some rave reviews. It didn't fall on its face either. It had the second best PSA of the top 10. It did fine.
Vampiro69 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 Hustle & Flow even got two thumbs up from Ebert & Ropert. However, I would have never thought that the Island would bomb that badly. Good to see Batman Begins still rake in nearly 5 million dollars.
Dangerous A Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 Why? It looked stupid to me, that's why I wanted it to fail. Like I give a flying fuck what Sundance people thought. Thing is it doesn't need a big opening since the budget was probrably peanuts. Why are you so happy to see Scarlett Johanssen fail? Why, cause she has more acting talent than Lohan and Duff have combined?
Youth N Asia Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 I thought the Island would do a LITTLE better. But it just didn't look good. Nothing opening this weekend looked good to me.
bob_barron Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 Why? It looked stupid to me, that's why I wanted it to fail. Like I give a flying fuck what Sundance people thought. Thing is it doesn't need a big opening since the budget was probrably peanuts. But it's not supposed to be a stupid 'black' movie or anything like that. It sounds like they went out and actually made a good movie that could launch a guy's career. If you don't like it, you don't like it, but it doesn't sound like a movie to wish a flop on. Why are you so happy to see Scarlett Johanssen fail? Why, cause she has more acting talent than Lohan and Duff have combined? Because I think she's terrible. The two movies I've seen her in (Lost in Translation and In Good Company), I hated her performance in both and felt she dragged down two potentially really good films. She gets all this hype when she's done nothing, so it's funny seeing her first big popcorn flick fall flat on its face.
Lord of The Curry Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 Scarlett isn't an action-flick kinda girl........she's an......what's the word? Oh yeah. Actress. I wouldn't expect somebody like Michael Bay to know how to use her talents.
Guest JMA Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 I have to agree that Scarlett Johanssen is quite a fine actress. I loved her performance in Ghost World especially. As for Michael Bay, it's his own fault this movie bombed. If he concentrated more on plot rather than explosions he might've been able to prevent this.
SuperJerk Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 Okay... ...I gotta say this... ...I've never even heard of Scarlett Johansson. Why the hell is everyone suddenly obsessed with her? F4 was sold out when I tried to see it again yesterday with Mrs. Jerk...who vetoed seeing "the Island", so we saw "Wedding Crashers" instead. Kind of weird I've either seen or wanted to see most of the movies on the top 10 list for a change...I hate going to the movies.
Guest JMA Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 It's good to see Batman Begins is still hanging in there. All it needs is 9 million dollars to reach a 200 million domestic gross.
Lord of The Curry Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 Okay... ...I gotta say this... ...I've never even heard of Scarlett Johansson. Why the hell is everyone suddenly obsessed with her? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you live in the US or Canada then you've been living under a rock for the past 3 or so years.
SuperJerk Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 If you live in the US or Canada then you've been living under a rock for the past 3 or so years. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are you actually claiming this chick's been a big star since 2002? So what's she been in that was such a huge hit I'd have no choice but to know who she is?
Lord of The Curry Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 I can only assume that you don't like hot women. It's really the only reasoning behind you not knowing who she is.
SuperJerk Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 I can only assume that you don't like hot women. It's really the only reasoning behind you not knowing who she is. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That has to be the stupidest non-answer I've ever encountered. Seriously, you're acting like she's the biggest star on Earth for the last 3 years, even though she has yet to be in ONE hit movie. Sorry to ruin your fantasy, but she's just not that famous.
Golgo 13 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 She's "just not that famous" because you haven't heard of her?
Lord of The Curry Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 Apparently. There are varrying degrees to define a "hit" movie. Lost in Translation probably cost next to nothing to make but given it's relatively solid box-office performance I'd call it a hit.
Lord of The Curry Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 EDIT: That was a big picture. I'll try and find a smaller one to showcase tha hotness.
SuperJerk Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 You still didn't answer my question, Curry. What's she been in that was such a huge hit (i.e. lots of people saw it) I'd have no choice but to know who she is? And why have I been "living under a rock for 3 years" because I'm not up on whatever flavor-of-the-month actress you guys have decided is the greatest thing since blowjobs?
Lord of The Curry Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 Flavour-of-the-month??? So, what kind of rock was it?
SuperJerk Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 What's she been in that was such a huge hit (i.e. lots of people saw it) I'd have no choice but to know who she is? Answer the fucking question.
Lord of The Curry Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 Yikes. I'm not sure if I want to now, the idea of you losing sleep over this appeals to me greatly.
SuperJerk Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 You won't answer it because you CAN'T answer it. If you live in the US or Canada then you've been living under a rock for the past 3 or so years. This is just a ridicules bullshit statement. Sorry you can't back it up.
Lord of The Curry Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 I seriously think you're one of the only people on this board who didn't know who she is.
