At least "Slither" did better than "Basic Instinct 2"

[Guest Smues]

Larry the Cable Guy making any money at all saddens me, but I'm glad to see that Ice Age made a ton in its opening weekend.

[2GOLD]

Basic Instinct 2 did a bomb job so at least some good news came out of this.

Looks like it was to be expected. Slither looked like a 2.50 theater movie for me, cool actors and all but just didn't appear to have any meat on the bone worth going to check out for 9.50.

[Vyce]

Holy shit, 70 million? Is that a record for an opening this time of year? It's still a month, month and a half before the summer movie season opens and big box office weekends are the usual.

[Youth N Asia]

Yeah, Slither looks like a $2 show pretty soon. Hopefully Hills as well, cause I still need to see that

[Red Baron]

And there wasn't any long weekends or anything like that at all.

It made as much as Sharon Stone's snatch this weekend.

[Guest Vitamin X]

I'm glad Slither just went out and bombed already. I'm sick of seeing commercials for it on TV.

 

A more grotesque rehash of a tired alien invasion/leeches plot is not worth seeing at all. God, modern horror movies suck.

[BUTT]

Clearly people ignored Slither because they are waiting for Snakes on a Plane.

[haws bah gawd]

Eh, sad to see Slither bomb that badly. I wanted to see it because of the "rubber suit" monster effects that it had. The fact that LCG: HI is still in theatres is yet another testament to the decay of society. I enjoy his stand-up routine, in moderation, but theres no way I could sit through an hour and a half of his stuff. Has anyone watched SHaggy Dog yet? The previews looked terrible.

Looked like a Sci-Fi Channel production to me.

It is a record for a March release.

Shaggy Dog was okay. Some of the dog scenes were funny, but the movie really dragged.
