No shocker here. PD cuts together some slick trailers for another one of its remake abortions and scores big at the b.o. I'd expect it to plummet (though not as bad as F13th) next week when IM2 annihilates it.

Look at it this way: It can't make the movie any worse than it will already be.

3D is the latest thing to rage against, somehow.

Speaking of 3D, anybody know what Phish 3D brought in?

I'm actually happy the movie with the dancing CGI animals (Furry Vengeance) didn't open at #1.

I'm pleased to see that "Dragon" is holding on in it's sixth weekend. But I expect that it, and most of the other recent releases, will get flattened by Ironman 2 this coming weekend (it's already over $100 million in foreign box office take).

Re: Weekend Box Office (4/30-5/2): PD scores another cash grab with a cinematic Night

did anybody find any numbers for Phish 3D? I've looked all around and found nothing. I imagine that it would've definitely been in the top 20, surprised that they didn't release the numbers.
