I heard the budget on WINN-DIXIE was really 100 million.
EDIT: For 3-day estimates, Hitch is #1 while Constantine is only less than a million below.

He was making a jab at all of us who are believing from what we read that Son of the mask has a 100 million budget.
Box office mojo also has that one listed at that much, so I don't see why we should doubt it or carry a conversation about the film (n)ever making its budget back based on its lack luster weekend numbers.

Fixed for you, Jack...
Boy, and I'm considered the most sensitive person around here?

I'm actually pretty surprised how much Constantine made this weekend. It'll be interesting to see how much it drops once word-of-mouth starts spreading around.

Interesting to see two 30 million dollar movies in one weekend, in February. Oh how the box office grows.
Constantine is a pretty good opening though. Those are strong numbers, and if they had released it in a few more theaters, proabbly would've toppled Hitch. It's per screen average is definately stronger than Hitch's (though neither is one to scoff at...Hitch's drop off from last weekend is great for an opening of that size...I doubt Constantine will be able to match that).

I expect Hitch to be #1 next week too. The only movie that will give it any competition really is Be Cool. I don't think Man of The House is really going to detrown Hitch. Maybe it will push Constantine to 3 but Hitch is pretty safe until March 4.

I know many people who are both interested in this week's flicks. Cursed is another PG-13 horror film that may surpass Hitch for that #1 spot (as seen by White Noise and Boogeyman earlier this year) and it helps that the team behind three of the biggest grossing horror films of all time are behind the film. Then again, there are a lot of idiots in America, and Sony could secure their FOURTH number one weekend movie this year with Man of the House (following the trend set by Are We There Yet, Boogeyman, and Hitch). Somehow, I know tons of people who want to see Man of the House this weekend.
God knows why.
Next weekend's totals will be interesting to see. Cursed and Man of the House may do extremely well as Hitch takes a bigger drop (35-40%) and Constantine takes a bigger drop (at least 50% min). As one could say, all bets are off this weekend.
[And Be Cool is 10 years too late. I predict that it'll bomb, similar to a film similar to it's style that was released a few years ago: the extremely underrated Big Trouble.]

Phantom of the Opera is doing nice business in Japan. I am sure Hitch will not perform that good in Japan. Comedies don't do that well in the theaters in Japan

Be Cool has John Travolta returning to a role more people like him in, plus a fairly strong supporting cast. Granted, Big Trouble had a solid cast also, but Travolta (and Uma Thurman for that matter) I believe will do better with opening this material than Tim Allen. That and the marketing campaign behind this film, crossed with it being a sequel to a successful film, means this film won't be anywhere near the bomb Big Trouble was. While I don't see this film making 80 plus million, it'll have a much bigger opening than Big Trouble's entire theatrical gross of 7 million.

I'll raise you your Christina Milian and present you with another Man of the House co-star:
Paula Garcés
Hell, I'll even post Aanessa Ferlito while I am it.
Too bad it's not a two-hour sleepover type film with five hot cheerleaders. Then I'd go see it. But I dont like Tommy Lee Jones or Cedric, so I'll stay away.
