Box Office Bombings: Box Office Breakdown 4/30/07

Whoo boy, is it late? You freakin' bet it is. But I'm back baby, freedom of summer has begun. So let's catch up with the Weekend Box Office for Monday, April 30th, 2007.

1. Disturbia
Last Week Rank: 1st
Weekend Gross: $9 million
Total Gross: $52 million
Weeks Out: 3
Musings: Ah, by that number showing, we can see that everyone isn't bothering to go to the movies last weekend, awaiting a certain webhead's return. But Shia is proving that he can win over the box office, something he'll need if those 80s robots are to do anything at all.

2. The Invisible
Last Week Rank: N/A
Weekend Gross: $8 million
Total Gross: $8 million
Weeks Out: 1
Musings: This one is supposed to be fairly good but I don't buy it. A guy has to solve his own murder, interesting, but the fact that it's pre-loaded with a rock soundtrack in the trailer doesn't bode well.

3. Next
Last Week Rank: N/A
Weekend Gross: $7 million
Total Gross: $7 million
Weeks Out: 1
Musings: In the words of Simon from American Idol (I think, I've never actually seen it), NEXT! Seriously, Cage has gotta stop taking every script that lands in his lap. If he really could see the future, he'd know this movie is gonna be blown out of the water.

4. Fracture
Last Week Rank: 2nd
Weekend Gross: $7 million
Total Gross: $7 million
Weeks Out: 2
Musings: Willie. Ok now that that's out of the way, Anthony Hopkins plays NOT Hannibal Lecter where he has gotten away with killing his wife. Frankly the movie could just end there, he's the kinda guy where we just go, you know what Tony? You go ahead and kill your wife, you've earned it.

5. Blades Of Glory
Last Week Rank: 3rd
Weekend Gross: $5 million
Total Gross: $108 million
Weeks Out: 5
Musings: It's being advertised as the #1 comedy in the country, meaning it is totally not the #1 movie in the country. Seriously, did they put Ferrell and Heder together just so I wouldn't have to avoid two movies instead of one this summer? Cause if so, that's the only reason for this blasphemy to ice sports to exist.

6. Hot Fuzz
Last Week Rank: 6th
Weekend Gross: $5 million
Total Gross: $13 million
Weeks Out: 2
Musings: Here's where the #1 comedy should be, at the Hot Fuzz junction. If it's anywhere near as funny as Shaun of the Dead, then it's bloody brilliant. These two guys alone are worth the price of admission. God bless British comedy.

7. Meet The Robinsons
Last Week Rank: 5th
Weekend Gross: $5 million
Total Gross: $88 million
Weeks Out: 5
Musings: It's still confusing to see computer animation from Disney, but have it not be Pixar, especially since Pixar is still associated with Disney. They do their best though which at least looks more interesting than Chicken Little, yikes.

8. Vacancy
Last Week Rank: 4th
Weekend Gross: $4 million
Total Gross: $14 million
Weeks Out: 2
Musings: Luke Wilson can already get on my nerves, but doing a sad sack Psycho? Please, this has been done before and way better. I know the outcome and it's not satisfactory in the least.

9. The Condemned
Last Week Rank: N/A
Weekend Gross: $4 million
Total Gross: $4 million
Weeks Out: 1
Musings: Debuting at 9th eh? Yeah that bodes well. Stone Cold Steve Austin plays a guy on death row who has to kill everyone else to survive. What a smart plot, and maybe next week, we can watch the Undertaker clean up the streets with his no holds barred attitude.

10. Are We Done Yet?
Last Week Rank: 7th
Weekend Gross: $4 million
Total Gross: $44 million
Weeks Out: 4
Musings: Are you freakin' kidding me? You make a sequel to a horrendously bad movie, you base it off the Money Pit, and then you expect people to see it? I'm pretty sure Dr. Cox would be taking Ice Cube's family's BS for about, oh 1 minute there, Barbie.-Gonch
