Box Office Bombings: Box Office Breakdown 1/22/07
Here we go, the weekend box office, released today, Monday 1/22/07
1. Stomp The Yard
Last Week Rank: 1st
Weekend Gross: $13.3 million
Total Gross: $41.6 million
Weeks Out: 2
Musings: What? Are you kidding me? How is this the #1 movie in the country two weeks in a row? I'm not against the culture of stomping, but that does not mean it's a good idea to make it into a movie plot. I'm not sure what will knock this out but I hope this isn't up here next week.
2. Night At The Museum
Last Week Rank: 2nd
Weekend Gross: $13 million
Total Gross: $205.8 million
Weeks Out: 5
Musings: Well it hit $200 mil, which is not a good thing. Just goes to show again there's almost nothing out there for moviegoers and it's about the only thing they've been flocking towards. Man we need some new movies.
3. Dreamgirls
Last Week Rank: 4th
Weekend Gross: $8.7 million
Total Gross: $78.1 million
Weeks Out: 6
Musings: What a surprise, using the power of the golden globes, Dreamgirls rises up another spot. Oh how awards have that affect on people. What's that? That doesn't sound interesting. It won some awards you say? Well, now I HAVE to see it.
4. The Hitcher
Last Week Rank: N/A
Weekend Gross: $8.2 million
Total Gross: $8.2 million
Weeks Out: 1
Musings: Along comes one of the first horror/thrillers of the year, though it's apparently not that thrilling. Gotta be honest, the concept of a deadly hitchhiker is not a new one. Although Ford Prefect mostly got Arthur into deadly situations moreso than creating them, I think. Anyway, next week's rank prediction: 42.
5. Pursuit Of Happyness
Last Week Rank: 3rd
Weekend Gross: $6.7 million
Total Gross: $146.5 million
Weeks Out: 3
Musings: This week, I am thankful that Will Smith no longer makes horrible films like Wild, Wild West. Seriously, Will, what the hell? What the hell?
6. Freedom Writers
Last Week Rank: 5th
Weekend Gross: $5.6 million
Total Gross: $26.9 million
Weeks Out: 5
Musings: Still holding on, Freedom Writers is about an unlikely girl who learns the ways of the martial arts, from an old schooled teacher named Mr. Miyagi. Wait no, that's the plot of The Next Karate Kid...which starred Hilary Swank. Yeah, not such a big Oscar winner now, are you?
7. Pan's Labyrinth
Last Week Rank: 18th
Weekend Gross: $4.5 million
Total Gross: $9.9 million
Weeks Out: 4
Musings: Don't be confused, this film went to wide release this weekend so that's why it's been out so long and suddenly on the top ten. Still not a very notable debut but it's getting some rave reviews. Seems a little weird for my taste but hey, at least it's not a Rob Schneider comedy, and we can all be thankful for that.
8. Children Of Men
Last Week Rank: 6th
Weekend Gross: $3.7 million
Total Gross: $27.5 million
Weeks Out: 5
Musings: Still clinging to box office life, if you want to feel depressed, woo boy does Alfonso Cuaron have a movie for you! It's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. In it, Harry and his female compatriot mysteriously steal a plot device from Back To The Future Part 2, where they go back in time and have to fix the past (that shows signs of them already having done this before) without bumping into their past selves. God I love originality.
9. The Queen
Last Week Rank: 24th
Weekend Gross: $3.7 million
Total Gross: $35.9 million
Weeks Out: 17
Musings: There's something ridiculous to be said for going from rank 24 to rank 9 in one weekend. Out 17 weeks no less and suddenly people realize it's out (couldn't have been in limited release that long, right?). Amazing, the Golden Globes can make any movie a star but Heroes isn't good enough for them. Hrmph.
10. Arthur And The Invisibles
Last Week Rank: 9th
Weekend Gross: $3.1 million
Total Gross: $9.3 million
Weeks Out: 2
Musings: Ahahahaha, oh man, talk about a bomb. Sure this movie got almost no marketing, but look at the voices that are in this film: David Bowie, Snoop Dogg, Robert De Niro, Mia Farrow, Madonna, Jimmy Fallon, Harvey Keitel, and Emilio Estevez. And they wonder why it flopped? Here's a better one, it's directed by Luc Besson, who has done nothing of interest since the Fifth Element.
