Talledega Nigths is still up there> Jeeze....

[In Credible]

The freaking Covenant? Wow......just wow.

[Mole]

September is always the most boring month for the Box Office.

[MrRant]

I was hoping the Protector would have done a bit better.

[RedJed]

I was hoping the Protector would have done a bit better.

 

I think it did ok considering the low screen distribution on it. Its nowhere near this area in the theatres right now sadly or else I'd go.

 

Anyone heard anything positive about this Covenant film? It looks a bit ok from the previews but could easily be a shitty deal with the little I've heard on it.

[Ginger Snaps]

I want to go see the Covenant. Cute boy witches! Whoever said it looks like a bad WB supernatural drama was right, but I'll watch it anyway.

[Lil' Bitch]

The Covenant is the Craft, but with guys! Looking at those numbers, talk about a dead weekend. Wasn't Cena's movie supposed to come out Friday?

[Guest Hotbutter Spoontoaster]

Hollywoodland was awesome. One of the top 5 movies of 2006 so far.

10/13.

[Ravenbomb]

the fucking Covenant? At this rate Hot Topic will NEVER go out of business...

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

Worst Box Office in 3 years.

[Guest Hotbutter Spoontoaster]

Next week should be good with The Black Dahlia, The Last Kiss, Gridiron Gang, and Everyone's Hero. I'm excited for The Black Dahlia. Artie Lange's Beer League comes out next week too, but it's a limited release.

[Insanity]

Gridiron should be able to have a good opening. It's got almost no competition this week (Everyday's Hero? I never fucking heard of that besides seeing posters)

Someone steals Babe Ruth's talking bat and a little boy with a talking baseball try to find it and return it to the Babe in time for the game. That's about it.

[Black Lushus]

When does Open Season come out? That'll have some decent numbers...I don't see the baseball animated flick doing well, however...not enough talking animals and inanimate objects.

 

I can't decide whether I want to see Flyboys or not.

The end of September and Flyboys looks like it has a lot of potential much like The Illusionist and Hollywoodland. I need to go see all three films either now or in the cheap theater. Cause they all look very good to me.

Open Season

aka "Yet Another CGI Animal Film"

[Black Lushus]

Open Season

well yeah, but those almost always make big bucks.

[bob_barron]

Not recently. The novelty of CGI has worn off

[Slayer]

How many wholly CGI movies have been made that weren't kids films?

[Special K]

All the ones I can think of are Japanese. Appleseed, Final Fantasy: AC and SW.

[The Niggardly King]

Gridiron Gang should make the easy 12-20 million.

 

Inspirational sports movie, with rough young urban kids, and The Rock. This could easily be his best grossing film since The Scorpion King.

[Slayer]

Final Fantasy: SW.

Ugh

[razazteca]

Open Season

aka "Yet Another CGI Animal Film"

 

well yeah, but those almost always make big bucks.

Do they escape from the Brooklyn Zoo to make the long journey home back to the jungle or do they simple cruise around NYC looking for a friend that got lost?

[Black Lushus]

ha!

 

for what it's worth, "Madagascar" was a funny movie...I have not seen "The Wild", though.
