Box Office Bombings: Box Office Breakdown 3/5/07
I bet you're starting to feel a bit queasy. I advise you catch up with the Weekend Box Office for Monday, March 5th, 2007 and call me in the morning. Or not, it's all the same really.
1. Wild Hogs
Last Week Rank: N/A
Weekend Gross: $38 million
Total Gross: $38 million
Weeks Out: 1
Musings: I am deeply saddened for this country's moviegoing culture. Wild Hogs? Are you kidding me? Not to mention it pulled in the 2nd biggest haul of 2007. This movie is a joke, 3 washed up actors and the totally out of place William H. Macy do not a good film make. John Travolta, Tim Allen, and Martin Lawrence? Did they put them all together so we'd be able to avoid them all at once? Felicity Huffman is not impressed, Will.
2. Zodiac
Last Week Rank: N/A
Weekend Gross: $13.1 million
Total Gross: $13.1 million
Weeks Out: 1
Musings: That's a little better. Jake Gyllenhaal (don't care if I spelled that right) is a cartoonist tracking the real life Zodiac killer in San Francisco, back when San Fran wasn't Anchorman territory. What makes the movie unfortunate is not its lack of thrills but apparently its overwhelming length and the fact that we know this guy was never caught. A lack of resolution doesn't always sit well with audiences...especially those who've been there for 2 and a half hours.
3. Ghost Rider
Last Week Rank: 1st
Weekend Gross: $11.5 million
Total Gross: $94.8 million
Weeks Out: 3
Musings: Another Marvel movie prepares to make $100 million. They'll be happy but the diehard fans aren't so much. Apparently Johnny's deal with the devil isn't played out exactly as it is in the comics and any change in the continuity of a second rate character is sure to spawn hate across tens of message boards on the interweb.
4. Bridge To Terabithia
Last Week Rank: 3rd
Weekend Gross: $8.6 million
Total Gross: $57.9 million
Weeks Out: 3
Musings: Following closely in Ghost Rider's coattails, it's still the premeire kids movie out there, not to mention the only fantasy movie. Well, if you don't count the fantasy that John Travolta still has star power.
5. The Number 23
Last Week Rank: 2nd
Weekend Gross: $7 million
Total Gross: $24.7 million
Weeks Out: 2
Musings: Awww, I would have changed that to $23 million myself but I didn't want to lie. Hey, at least they made it past that mark. Let this be a lesson to Jim Carrey though, never work with Joel Schumacher. The fact that he partially help build up your career as the Riddler is not enough, or did you not see the rest of his work?
6. Norbit
Last Week Rank: 5th
Weekend Gross: $6.4 million
Total Gross: $83 million
Weeks Out: 4
Musings: Bah, not falling fast enough. This total turd should drop off before I have to see it pass the dreaded $100 million mark. Again nothing more than a round number, but everytime this one makes a dollar it hurts my head just a little bit.
7. Music And Lyrics
Last Week Rank: 6th
Weekend Gross: $4.9 million
Total Gross: $38.7 million
Weeks Out: 3
Musings: Hugh Grant clings to life and oddly enough not Julia Roberts. Oh god, why did I even bring her name up? We haven't had to forgo one of her films in sometime and I've just incurred her wrath of moviemaking. Well at least we can get rid of Drew Barrymore by making a fake set and telling her it's the new Charlie's Angels movie; that should get rid of her for a few months.
8. Black Snake Moan
Last Week Rank: N/A
Weekend Gross: $4 million
Total Gross: $4 million
Weeks Out: 1
Musings: Wait, what? A movie with snake in the title. Starring Samuel L. Jackson. Who has Christina Ricci chained up. And no one bothered to see this? That's it, I have had it with these [expletive] stupid moviegoers in these [expletive] theaters.
9. Reno 911!: Miami
Last Week Rank: 4th
Weekend Gross: $3.8 million
Total Gross: $16.4 million
Weeks Out: 2
Musings: Laughter may not be the strong suit, as the film is destined to be a two week wonder and disappear for good. Perhaps the group needs to stick to television or not enough people know who or what these guys are. I'm thinking too many people are afraid that it's Police Academy: Assignment Miami all over again. Yeesh.
10. Breach
Last Week Rank: 7th
Weekend Gross: $3.5 million
Total Gross: $25.4 million
Weeks Out: 3
Musings: Farewell Breach, we hardly knew ye. No really, I don't think most people knew or cared about this one. I mean, why see this when you can watch overblown sad sack actors ride motorcycles or Eddie Murphy in a fat suit. I need to go lie down.
