Guest Smues Report post Posted April 30, 2006 While I had pretty much conceeded that RV would win the weekend, at least it didn't make a huge amount of money or anything. I really had no idea how Flight 93 would do, I had kinda of figured it would either make close to nothing or have a huge opening weekend but I guess I was wrong there. The Benchwarmers passing $50 million makes me a sad panda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2006 It looks at though United 93 would have EASILY gotten number one if it would have been in anywhere near the same amount of theatres "RV" was in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedJed 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2006 It was one of those weekends were there wasnt any huge films coming out in prep for May, so the low numbers dont surprise me. RV looks like the antithesis of just barely stratching the surface of a DVD rental. Sentinel was a pretty good flick, as I did check that out over the weekend myself. I wonder how it will fare next week, as I felt this has a much better shelf life than something like SM4 or even Silent Hill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the max 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2006 I know a few people who were a little surprised about the A&E movie that was aired, thinking that it might have been too soon for that, let alone a 9-11 movie made for profit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haws bah gawd 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2006 "The Flight that Fought Back" was the A&E movie right? Or was it on TLC? It was quite a depressing flick but I marked the fuck out like it was Rock vs Hogan all over again when the passengers rushed the cockpit and beat the shit out of one of the hijackers before they decided to crash the plane.

Dr. Zaius 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2006 I didn't know that's what the number after the dollar amount was. So RV made 40% more money by being on 100% more screens? Robin Williams should be proud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2006 The new issue of GQ has an interview with Robin Williams discussing the way his career faltered in the late 90s and early 00s because of bad movie selection. He said that he got caught up doing family films and not pushing himself as an actor. The whole time I'm reading this I was thinkingg to myself, "Isn't this the guy who's in that ridiculous looking RV movie?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
