Box Office Bombings: Box Office Breakdown 5/14/07

What could possibly challenge the biggest opening weekend ever? Why nothing, that's what! Still, everyone try not to make fun of the Weekend Box Office for Monday, May 14th, 2007.

1. Spider-Man 3
Last Week Rank: 1
Weekend Gross: $60 million
Total Gross: $240 million
Weeks Out: 2
Musings: What? $60 million is the best you can do this week? Feh, other movies would kill to open to that. You spidey? You could do better. But that's ok, that's what merchandising and the largest opening outside of the US ever is taking care of. Just remember, Bruce Campbell is the real star of the show.

2. 28 Weeks Later
Last Week Rank: N/A
Weekend Gross: $10 million
Total Gross: $10 million
Weeks Out: 1
Musings: The sequel to the successful 28 Days Later, which should never be confused with 28 Days (yikes, Bullock), brings back all the chills and thrills of the last installment. Why is it here? Because it's the summer of sequels, it's the rule. Plus, this is where Michael has been since he left the island, bloody England.

3. Georgia Rule
Last Week Rank: N/A
Weekend Gross: $7 million
Total Gross: $7 million
Weeks Out: 1
Musings: Look, it's the new chick flick of the week. I hear it stars 3 generations of women and they all learn from each other. Gag me if you can read this.

4. Disturbia
Last Week Rank: 2nd
Weekend Gross: $5 million
Total Gross: $66 million
Weeks Out: 5
Musings: Can't stop Shia that easily, even with 2 new movies out he still clings to life. The question is, which classic Hitchcock film will be butchered next? Psycho and Rear Window are taken care of, who wants to tackle The Man Who Knew Too Much? Bill Murray does not count.

5. Delta Farce
Last Week Rank: N/A
Weekend Gross: $3 million
Total Gross: $3 million
Weeks Out: 1
Musings: How did this movie make it to theaters? I hope even Comedy Central would steer clear of this nightmare.

6. Fracture
Last Week Rank: 3rd
Weekend Gross: $3 million
Total Gross: $31 million
Weeks Out: 4
Musings: Yeah not so lucky. Mr. Hopkins is unstoppable. Sure $31 million isn't all that much, but who cares. He's so rich by now, he could buy half the movies on this list.

7. The Invisible
Last Week Rank: 4th
Weekend Gross: $2 million
Total Gross: $16 million
Weeks Out: 3
Musings: The film takes another drop and is failing badly in the face of the summer to come. If this movie was to ever have a shot, it was completely released at the wrong time.

8. Meet The Robinsons
Last Week Rank: 7th
Weekend Gross: $2 million
Total Gross: $94 million
Weeks Out: 7
Musings: Perhaps to break the $100 million mark, Disney might finally learn how to make a CGI film without Pixar's help. Problem is, will they ever live up to the writing? [AE's Note: Actually, Pixar rejiggered this movie when they merged with Disney.]

9. Next
Last Week Rank: 5th
Weekend Gross: $2 million
Total Gross: $15 million
Weeks Out: 3
Musings: Down, down goes Cage. I ain't talking about Johnny either. Maybe he can make a direct to DVD sequel called Next Again: How Nicholas Cage Can't Say No To A Script. I'm pretty sure if it can be printed out, he's all over it.

10. Hot Fuzz
Last Week Rank: 9th
Weekend Gross: $2 million
Total Gross: $19 million
Weeks Out: 4
Musings: It's holding onto to dear life but who cares. The list this week knocked off BOTH Blades of Glory and Are We Done Yet?. So I will misplacingly thank Hot Fuzz for not being responsible for this. Because I refuse to think Delta Farce had anything to do with it.
