[Vanhalen 0]

Surprised by how well I am Legend has done, even beating out the Simpsons movie

[AntiLeaf33 0]

Norbit made $95 mil, Epic Movie almost made $40 mil, and the Game Plan almost made $90 mil? Fuck, I'm really starting to worry about the general public.

[Black Lushus 0]

Why would The Game Plan making so much surprise you? It's a family movie that has elements that all parts of the family can enjoy.

[AntiLeaf33 0]

Why would The Game Plan making so much surprise you? It's a family movie that has elements that all parts of the family can enjoy.

 

Yeah, the Game Plan really doesn't belong on that list. Got distracted mid-post...fucking work getting in my way of slacking off. But the other 2 belong there.

[Black Lushus 0]

I started a thread on how awful Norbit would be...I did not see it, but I can imagine I wasn't wrong. Could have possibly had something to do with Eddie Murphy not winning the best supporting actor Oscar, due to the timing of the release right after Dreamgirls. Eddie was notches above Alan Arkin, IMO.

[King Kamala 0]

I've seen 16 movies on that list. Usually I see more blockbuster shite in theaters but this year I only saw three in the top 10 (The Simpsons Movie and Transformers which were both part of a drive in double feature and I saw Shrek 3). I don't know if it's a sign of my taste getting better or me just getting old and out of touch with what's popular. You decide TSM!

[ZGangsta 0]

No surprise about the top 6, but is it fair to say that 300 was the biggest 'outperformer' of the year?

[The Niggardly King 0]

Everyone in that category was better than Arkin, and he was the only damn worthwhile thing about Sunshine. Oops, almost forgot Mark Whalberg got a nomination for The Departed. Djimon, Murphy, and Jackie Earle should have gotten the award instead of him.

 

Norbit hit all the notches for bad black comedy... and had the greatness of Cuba Gooding Jr. in it.

[Craig Th 0]

Fuck that. Sunshine was awesome.

 

Besides, Eddie Murphy was acted like a little bitch after he lost.

[The Buzz 0]

I'm not one to bash movies, but Shrek 3 was probably my least favorite movie this year. I like a lot of critically acclaimed stuff, but love just as much pop culture style stuff. But Shrek 3 put me to sleep three times at the theater, and twice when my girlfriend rented it. That hasn't happened to me since the Matrix.

[RedJed 0]

Could sleeper of the year be considered Wild Hogs? I didnt hardly expect anything out of that one, and even made a point to avoid even seeing it on DVD when it came out, just didnt sound interesting at all. I caught some of it just recently finally and actually liked it surprisingly. So it must have had a hell of a good word of mouth or something? But for that to be number 11 for the year was something.

 

Probably my favorite film out of the major hits of the year was Bourne Ultimatum. Least favorite? I wasn't too thrilled with Pirates for some reason, and loved the other two of the franchise.

[King Kamala 0]

Sleeper of the year is definitely Alvin and The Chipmunks IMO. It cost $55 million and will probably make $200 million. It's based on an old TV show but that's not a guarantee of big box office success and it didn't have any huge box office draws in it while Wild Hogs had three (Travolta, Tim Allen and Martin Lawrence).

Wild Hogs was one that I swore I would not see, but ended up catching it on when some friends were watching it on DVD and I was surprised. John C. McGinley was gold in it.

 

I know it did pretty good word of mouth and a lot of people were interested in the combination of the actors helped its box office. One other thing that I had heard at the time, which wouldn't have bumped it huge, but give it a little bump, was that kids were buying tickets to that and then sneaking into 300, as they were in the box office around the same time.

There's what I've seen out of this list. I didn't like 300, hated Transformers, and didn't think Superbad was that great at all. I expected nothing out of Die Hard, but enjoyed it alot. Loved Spider-Man 3.

[Black Lushus 0]

I actually liked Spider-Man 3 a little bit more the 2nd time around on DVD. Still hate the whole Venom angle, but everything else was better than I first though.

[TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0]

I watched it again two nights ago (third time I've seen it) and liked it more than the previous two viewings.

[cabbageboy 0]

Spidey 3 got really bad on the 2nd viewing to me. And I think there is something to that Wild Hogs/300 thing, since there's no way in hell Wild Hogs should have made anywhere near 168 million (if it made 100 million that might make some sense).

[Open the Muggy Gate 0]

Stomp the Yard did better than Golden Compass.

 

 

STOMP THE YARD DID BETTER THAN GOLDEN COMPASS.

I'm pretty sure GC will get that 70,000 to beat it. Remember, the money it makes this year goes with last years numbers.

[Guest Smues]

It's sad that The simpsons and Ratatouille didn't make more as they both ruled, and Transformers made so much and it's a piece of pure shit.

[Open the Muggy Gate 0]

I thought they weren't added. My bad. Props to Simpsons for getting top 10 as well.

[Brett Favre 0]

The Simpsons sucked.

[King Kamala 0]

The Simpsons sucked.

 

 

Wrong! I wouldn't praise it as much as some people here. But it's a solid *** movie and certainly better than any Simpsons episode made this decade. Sad to say I probably liked it the most of all of the movies in the Top 10

[treble 0]

Simpsons was a lot better on the first viewing. Once I saw it again and knew that jokes that were coming, I didn't enjoy it as much, which wasn't usually the case with the TV show.

[KingPK 0]

Bourne deserved every cent it made. I got the DVD a few days ago and the Waterloo Station and rooftop chase scenes are just great.

 

I saw more movies in the theater this year (Bourne and Spidey 3) than I've seen in a good five years.

Oh hell no. That shit was garbage. Granted I only saw like the first 40 minutes on DVD before turning it off, but just like the Simpsons these past few years, it's like the old Family Guy episodes except not funny. The Simpsons were a smart subtle show back then and we've been reduced to Homer gets hurt, Homer cries, and Homer does some stupid shit that isn't funny. That was pretty much the movie too.

[King Kamala 0]

Whatever. Not gonna argue. Comedy and eroticism are the two most subjective things in the history of the universe. Neither one of us are going to be convinced the other is right.

 

 

Maybe it was my admittedly low expectations but I thought it was pretty good for what it was.
