Box Office Bombings: Box Office Breakdown 1/15/07
Get ready, cause here's the weekend box office, released today, Monday 1/15/07
1. Stomp The Yard
Last Week Rank: N/A
Weekend Gross: $22 million
Total Gross: $22 million
Weeks Out: 1
Musings: We've got a new champ this week and here's hoping it falls faster than Stephen Hawking down a flight of stairs. Seriously, I'm no fan of any kind of dancing pretending to be a movie, but stomping? I mean it's not even Stomp! Now if this had some relation to Super Mario, then I might be interested, but this is about one dance step away from You Got Served 2: Electric Boogaloo (go cliche go).
2. Night At The Museum
Last Week Rank: 1st
Weekend Gross: $17.1 million
Total Gross: $185.8 million
Weeks Out: 4
Musings: Finally this cliche-ridden family film fell out of the top, but it's still moving very quickly towards a staggering $200 million. Clearly the studio should be quite proud of this but let's face it, there was nothing even close to being as interesting for the majority of holiday-goers this season. Stiller's still got the BO gold.
3. Pursuit Of Happyness
Last Week Rank: 2nd
Weekend Gross: $9.1 million
Total Gross: $136.5 million
Weeks Out: 5
Musings: Each week, I'll say what I'm most thankful about Will Smith until this film falls out of the top ten. This week, I am thankful that Will Smith no longer raps about "Cruisin'" or his "Willenium". There's only so much Fresh Prince we could take and he thankfully knew when to stop.
4. Dreamgirls
Last Week Rank: 5th
Weekend Gross: $8.1 million
Total Gross: $66.9 million
Weeks Out: 2
Musings: Looks like this one has some legs (har har). Your typical word of mouth, nominated for Golden Globes and likely going to get Oscar nominated for something movie spreading. Not a surprise if this sticks around or even climbs one spot higher.
5. Freedom Writers
Last Week Rank: 4th
Weekend Gross: $7.1 million
Total Gross: $19.9 million
Weeks Out: 2
Musings: What? People are still going to see this? C'mon now, just go see better versions of this with To Sir, With Love or my personal favorite teacher-saves-troubled-students film Stand And Deliver. Mr. Holland's Opus is in it's own category, especially in the director's cut where the shark actually eats Dreyfuss.
6. Children Of Men
Last Week Rank: 3rd
Weekend Gross: $6.4 million
Total Gross: $21.4 million
Weeks Out: 3
Musings: Making about the same as it did last week although it will likely fall fast if it keeps that up. As always never enough sci-fi films, unless it's the summer.
7. Alpha Dog
Last Week Rank: N/A
Weekend Gross: $6.1 million
Total Gross: $6.1 million
Weeks Out: 1
Musings: Ahhh! It's Justin Timberlake, run! Hmm he helps kidnap some kid, holds for "ransom" and suddenly realizes that he and accomplices may actually get in serious trouble for that. Timberlake goes to prison? It's no Arrested Development but it's on the right track. Now how do we get the rest of N'Sync into space again?
8. Primeval
Last Week Rank: N/A
Weekend Gross: $6 million
Total Gross: $6 million
Weeks Out: 1
Musings: Whether this film is good or bad matters not. This one is all Disney's fault as the marketing was totally atrocious for this movie. Need proof? It was marketed as based on true events about a serial killer still at large who has claimed over 300 victims. So what's the problem? It's actually about a giant killer crocodile in Africa with warlords. Yeah, that's a twist even Shyamalan can't come up with.
9. Arthur And The Invisibles
Last Week Rank: N/A
Weekend Gross: $4.3 million
Total Gross: $4.3 million
Weeks Out: 1
Musings: Bad movie-making sign #1: You debut at 9th in the box office, at a time where there isn't a large amount of competition in the field and some kids are still on winter break. Bad movie-making sign #2: You actually try to copy a concept like the Ant Bully and expect people to see it. Sigh.
10. The Good Shepherd
Last Week Rank: 8th
Weekend Gross: $3.9 million
Total Gross: $54.3 million
Weeks Out: 4
Musings: Likely on it's way out this week, Matt Damon will just have to wait for the Bourne Supremacy to make some big bucks this year. That or...god help us all, Ocean's Thirteen. Do your best not to flock to the latter.
