Box Office Bombings: Box Office Breakdown 3/12/07

Tonight, we dine at the movies! Yes, it's the Weekend Box Office for Monday, March 12th, 2007.

1. 300
Last Week Rank: N/A
Weekend Gross: $70 million
Total Gross: $70 million
Weeks Out: 1
Musings: Yes, that's right, 70 million. How about that for an opening? Breaks the record for largest March opening and the 3rd largest R-rated opening. That's one hell of a Frank Miller epic there.

2. Wild Hogs
Last Week Rank: 1st
Weekend Gross: $27.6 million
Total Gross: $77 million
Weeks Out: 2
Musings: 300 nearly made more than this movie did in 2 weeks, but sadly people are still going to see this stupid crap. What can I say, it's a pig indeed.

3. Bridge To Terabithia
Last Week Rank: 4th
Weekend Gross: $6.8 million
Total Gross: $66.9 million
Weeks Out: 4
Musings: Wait a minute, this one went UP in the rankings. Wow, that is saying something about the power of fantasy kids films doesn't it? To be fair, the next two were very close to beating this out, but it's impressive nonetheless.

4. Ghost Rider
Last Week Rank: 3rd
Weekend Gross: $6.7 million
Total Gross: $104 million
Weeks Out: 4
Musings: Congrats to Marvel for another $100 million movie. Not so congrats to Nicholas Cage, because this may give him the bad idea that he's a good actor and Wicker Man says otherwise.

5. Zodiac
Last Week Rank: 2nd
Weekend Gross: $6.6 million
Total Gross: $23.6 million
Weeks Out: 2
Musings: Doesn't look all that good for this one now, it was outlasted by films out 2 weeks longer than it. Maybe Jake doesn't have quite the star power he thinks he does.

6. Norbit
Last Week Rank: 6th
Weekend Gross: $4.3 million
Total Gross: $88.3 million
Weeks Out: 5
Musings: Oh boy, it stagnated at 6, not cool. Stop seeing this movie! Stop giving Eddie money! Let it fall, please.

7. The Number 23
Last Week Rank: 5th
Weekend Gross: $4.1 million
Total Gross: $30.2 million
Weeks Out: 3
Musings: Aha, there's the number 23 in 30.2, close enough. Jim, maybe you want to start making comedies again? Not saying you should, but this isn't really the way to go.

8. Music And Lyrics
Last Week Rank: 7th
Weekend Gross: $3.7 million
Total Gross: $43.8 million
Weeks Out: 4
Musings: It's got no competition in romantic comedies so no surprise. May take an unfortunate amount of time to fall off the rankings.

9. Breach
Last Week Rank: 10th
Weekend Gross: $2.5 million
Total Gross: $29 million
Weeks Out: 4
Musings: Well hold the phone, what I thought would drop off also went up and may not fall out immediately, hard to say. Either way, that's impressive for a film almost no one cares about.

10. Amazing Grace
Last Week Rank: 11th
Weekend Gross: $2.5 million
Total Gross: $11.4 millionWeeks Out: 3
Musings: This is an even bigger surprise, completely falling off the rankings and actually making a comeback to the top ten. Not that it'll even be on the list next week, but kudos indeed.
