Like anyone is going to care about these movies after Wolverine opens next weekend, it sucks about Crank, but maybe that means we will get on bluray faster.

And "Star Trek"! Which is currently at 100% on RT. I'm not even a trekkie but I'm very excited about that one. But yeah, bring on the summer movies. I'm so disgusted with the money "Obsessed" made. Also, yes, bring on "Crank: High Voltage" to BD.

If those numbers hold Fast & Furious will have overtaken the original Sunday to become the highest grosser in the franchise.

I was going to say Crank wasn't doing that badly, but now I see these are weekend estimates and not Friday estimates. :\

Well, I'm hearing it be referred to that a lot in reviews. Although not a good comparison. As trashy as "Fatal Attraction" was, it got fairly good reviews. And a few Oscar nominations. I'm putting money down now that "Obssessed" sweeps the Razzies.

Its been interesting this year watching movies that by all accounts should have gone straight-to-dvd burn up the box office charts and break recods.
Paul Blartt, Taken , the tyler perry shit, and now obsessed.
Thats right America give yourself a pat on the back. you should feel proud.

You make it sound like this is somehow a new development.

Yeah, as someone else says, you lose for lumping the awesome Taken in with Tyler Perry movies.

"Taken" is not a great film by any stretch. Guilty pleasure, sure. One of those "popcorn" movies, yes. But it wasn't a critically acclaimed either. Just to be clear.

I like Crank 2, Fast and Furious, and Mosnters vs Aliens

I don't see how people are surprised week after week about box office takes for certain movies. Obsessed being number 1 isn't a big surprise to me, given the marketing for it and trailers everywhere.

Crank 2 is not for everyone, so I can see it not being a big crowd getter, but I really enjoyed it -very wild ride.
