Box Office Bombings: Box Office Breakdown 5/7/07

Something is swinging in the air, and I'm not so sure it's a good guy. Either way, grab your best black suit for the Weekend Box Office for Monday, May 7th, 2007.

1. Spider-Man 3
Last Week Rank: N/A
Weekend Gross: $150 million
Total Gross: $150 million
Weeks Out: 1
Musings: Eh? What's this now? A movie about a spidery superhero? A threequal you say? It made how much?! Let's just face facts, you cannot hope to stop him, you can only contain him, in a ton of movie theaters at once. It's a record-breaking smash hit that has Topher Grace thinking maybe Peter Parker should stay alive, at least for another 4 to 6 movies.

2. Disturbia
Last Week Rank: 1st
Weekend Gross: $6 million
Total Gross: $60 million
Weeks Out: 4
Musings: Well, that's quite a drop off from first, wouldn't you say? I'd say Shia could care less, he had 3 straight weeks at the top and will likely return on July 4th. For a movie budgeted at about 1/3 of what it's made, I'd say he's done well already.

3. Fracture
Last Week Rank: 4th
Weekend Gross: $4 million
Total Gross: $27 million
Weeks Out: 3
Musings: Good show, Mr. Hopkins, good show indeed. Jumping up in the standings this week, people ran to this film, assuming it was Hannibal Rides Again. Sadly they were mistaken.

4. The Invisible
Last Week Rank: 2nd
Weekend Gross: $3 million
Total Gross: $13 million
Weeks Out: 2
Musings: Sticking around, I seriously couldn't even tell you who stars in this movie. I don't imagine that bodes well for its future.

5. Next
Last Week Rank: 3rd
Weekend Gross: $3 million
Total Gross: $12 million
Weeks Out: 2
Musings: 2 weeks and $12 million? Haha, how pathetic for a Cage flick designed to be an early summer film. Maybe you should stick to lighting your head on fire and attacking women in bear costumes. [AE Note: Oh Nic Cage, how you make us laugh with your unintentional comedies.]

6. Lucky You
Last Week Rank: N/A
Weekend Gross: $3 million
Total Gross: $3 million
Weeks Out: 1
Musings: Yeah not so lucky. Oh look, love in Las Vegas. The kind of love that's only legal in Las Vegas? Hah, you wish.

7. Meet The Robinsons
Last Week Rank: 7th
Weekend Gross: $3 million
Total Gross: $92 million
Weeks Out: 6
Musings: Not bad Disney, holding onto its spot, Robinsons are doing their best to be...well the only movie there exists for the really young kids. Of course, any kid over 8 would likely rather take a trip with emo-Parker.

8. Blades Of Glory
Last Week Rank: 5th
Weekend Gross: $2 million
Total Gross: $112 million
Weeks Out: 6
Musings: Looks like this one is finally starting to die out. Good riddance. Can anyone promise me these two will stop making movies? Yeesh.

9. Hot Fuzz
Last Week Rank: 6th
Weekend Gross: $2 million
Total Gross: $16 millionWeeks Out: 3
Musings: It's too bad this one isn't hitting one out of the park like Shaun did. Still, DVD sales may show another result. The critics sure love it, so where are the cult fans? Not enough zombies I suspect. [AE's note: I think this movie opened up stronger than Shaun did.]

10. Are We Done Yet?
Last Week Rank: 10th
Weekend Gross: $2 million
Total Gross: $46 million
Weeks Out: 5
Musings: Holy crap, how are we not? Spider-Man 3 couldn't knock this piece of crap off the list? You gotta be kidding me. Who the hell is seeing this dreck?! 28 Weeks Later, I swear, kick this movie to the curb!
