Seems like "An Inconvenient Truth" took a drop. Guess Keith Olbermann doesn't have anything to brag about anymore.

They made another Garfield movie? There's a movie that flew completely under my radar.

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

Did the original Garfield movie even make good enough money for a sequel to be made?

[Lord of The Curry 0]

And the downward spiral of X3 continues. Proof positive that word-of-mouth is still one of the biggest factors in box office dollars.

[Special K 0]

Yeah, but it'll still be considered a hit. The backlash will really begin with X4. I think it's made more money than any other movie this year.

[Lil' Bitch 0]

Fuck, I was hoping FF3 was going to flop.

You do know that it is summer time and Movie Studios are releasing hit movie after hit movie every week? Look at this week, the top 3 movies all made over 25 million dollars. There are what 5 movies in the top 10 that have made over 100 million dollars. 2 have made 200 million. There is a ton of competition.

Yes, it did EXTREMELY well internationally which got it the sequel. It was cute, about what I expected out of a Garfield movie. The second one I haven't seen nor will I for seven to nine bucks. It's only 80 minutes long, screw that.

 

The original had a budget of 50 million, it made 75 million in the US and 123 million overseas.

So more than likely, this one will again do extremely well overseas but it won't justify a third one. Least I don't think it will but it might do huge.

 

And they made a Road House 2??!?! The fuck?

That has nothing to do with it. The movie that has made 215 million dollars in the US alone and is about a month old should still be on number one. Its the word-of-mouth thats stopping it from happening.

[Guest Retro Rob]

I think the X-Men audience is only so big, since most of that audience comes out opening weekend, there is no reason for the movie to stay at the top for more than a week or two.

[Longdogger_Pete 0]

I guess that's all she wrote for See No Evil...

 

Seriously though, it actually did slightly better than expected, didn't it?

It was cheap to make and has earned a slight profit. People will buy the DVD, and unfortunately this will probably help finance another WWE Film.

From what I hear, the next WWE movies (after "The Marine") will be a rip off of "The Running Man" starting Stone Cold Steve Austin, and a Western staring HHH and Undertaker.

Don't neglect that Nathan Jones will star in The Condemned with Austin.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

So in Running Man will Austin be running around with those knee braces on? That would be pretty funny to watch.

[UZI Suicide 0]

The plot for "The Condemned" sounds like just about every movie Roddy Piper has ever done.

I think "The Condemned is the rip off of "The Running Man".

Next week when it's in 19th place JR will shill like it's tearing up the boxoffice. The movie sucked hard.

[Guest Hotbutter Spoontoaster]

Next week when it's in 19th place

It's already in 22nd place for last weekend.
