I saw it and laughed my ass off.
Luckily the movie cost 9 million to make and should recoup that easily. I was hoping for a surprise hit though

My lord. Please name the next thread something like...

Box Office Numbers (8/6 - 8/8) as they become available.

That way others won't feel the title is misleading. Also, maybe the person who starts the thread could update the first post to reflect these updates.

I hear you on that. It was funny, I drove to the theater about 10 mins 'til showtime thinking it wouldn't be as full but damn, that theater was still about 90% full. All the other people that came after me probably had the same look on my face as I went in. Come around the corner thinking you'd be able to get to pick your seats and then seeing all the people.

Well, after deleting the posts that were off topic, thread craps, personal attacks, etc., I think this thread is about half as long as it started. At least it should be mostly on topic discussion now.

Now, please try not to let this spiral back to being the mess it was 20 minutes ago.

------------------

Deftones, I like your idea of posting these numbers in one place, as I find it easier to compare results this way. I would appreciate it if you would add something along the lines of your comment "When the new #'s are posted for the entire weekend, I'll post them. We don't need sixteen box office threads" to your first post for clarity though... especially if you decide to do more of these threads.

I'm not sure I want to anymore after the verbal lashing I've received.

This thread without the thread craps feels misleading.

Guys. Can't we all just get along.

If ANYONE has a concern about forum clutter, what should and shouldn't be in threads. Please address them with the forum moderator and NOT in the thread.

This constant bickering back and forth between all you guys in these Box Office threads SUCKS! You're all much more mature than this, so CUT IT OUT!

You are right. We should've just emailed the mods. We weren't picking on anyone, but rather laughing at how everything shook down. We promise never to do it again, oh fearless leader!

Looks good! I'm still thinking that Little Black Book will do well. Maybe I would switch it with #3.

Looks like I missed all the drama in this thread over the weekend.

Neways, I was WAAAAAAY off in my predictions.

I had The Villiage high up at #1, Bourne Supremacy at #2, but Harold & Kumar at #3, Manchurian at #4, SM2 at #5.

Oh well, I'm gonna see Harold & Kumar tonight and probably a few more times before it hits DVD.

Yeah, you are right. For some reason I thought Catwoman hadn't done nearly that much so far.
