Matrix went downhill fast. It made 83 million the first 5 days but Reloaded & word of mouth has killed it.

Guess we will see a Scary Movie 4.

Damn. Looks like everyone who was gonna see Revolutions saw it that first weekend, and that was pretty much it.

It took the height of boredom to drag my ass to see it Friday night, and there were 4 people total for that screening. Not good.

You should probably note these are only friday's numbers, not the entire weekend.

I was pleasantly surprised at the number in attendance at the 10 a.m. IMAX showing for Revolutions, I guesstimate there were around 50 people, which isn't all that bad considering the time of day, and it's now on its 3rd weekend or release.

Well, I guess the Cat is no Grinch, that's for sure.

i am wondering what kind of word of mouth cat in the hat will get. every review i have read about it says it's absolutely awful and from what i have seen of it, it doesn't look too good to me either.

That's because TCITH is an awful movie (I've seen it).

I thought TCITH would draw Grinch like numbers, but it seems like it won't even get close to Grinch's open.

Granted, I didn't want to and won't be seeing either, but I'm not exactly the target for those flicks, but I figured kids would eat it up.

Revolutions will still end up with a damn nice Worldwide tally of around $500-$600mil I imagine...

People in this forum havn't bashed REVOLOUTIONS the way they bashed THE HULK, PLANET OF THE APES, PHANTOM MENACE, ATTACK OF THE CLONES, TOMB RAIDER 1.
I wonder why?

Its a shame that M&C:TFSOTW isnt doing better. Russell Crowe did a great job in the film. It deserves much more than it is getting.

have we been on the same forum? speaking as someone who enjoyed revolutions, i think it's taken an indordinate amount of unfair bashing in this forum.

but i own everything on that list except the remake of PotA. now THAT sucked, but i do have the original.

It's taken a lot of bashing, but I don't think any of it was unfair.

I think wm lopez had a thinly-veiled statement to make when he asked that question, but I couldn't quite see through it. What was he trying to say, I wonder?

I remember how in 1999 THE MATRIX was hailed as the movie of the year and PHANTOM MENACE was so bad.
PHANTOM MENACE won that Razzie award for worst movie of the year. And ATTACK OF THE CLONES won the Razzie for worst movie of the year.
MATRIX REV. deserves the same treatment.

Just to clarify neither Star Wars won the Razzie for worst picture. They were only nominated for the "award" with the actual winners/losers being Showgirls & Swept Away.

Showgirls? That came out in 1995, no the movie with the honor of beating Phantom Menace was Wild Wild West.

No it doesn't. Revolutions is a better movie than both AOTC and The Phantom Menace. I expect Episode III will be nominated for the Razzie as well. None of the spoilers or anything Ive read about the story leads me to believe it will be any better than the other two asinine prequels.

Sorry, that is correct. Showgirls was the worst of the decade. Glad you were able to clarify my clarification.

Neither deserved to be even nominated. They nominated them to get publicity.

No it doesn't. Revolutions is a better movie than both AOTC and The Phantom Menace.
Speak for yourself. I think Revolutions was a heaping pile of sh*t. I found one hell of a lot more to enjoy in TPM and AOTC than I'll ever find to enjoy about Revolutions, despite their flaws. It got ripped by critics far worse than either SW prequel, and it deserved it every bit of it. Just an idiotic, convoluted movie with a stupid ending, not to mention some dialogue that makes AOTC love story dialogue seem tame by comparison. Acting that doesn't make Jake Lloyd seem so bad, even though he was.

But that's just one person's opinion. Well, maybe a lot of people's opinion judging by critics.

heh, AOTC and TPM deserved their Razzie noms.

Reloaded and Revolutions aren't quite as bad, but Revolutions came close in the cheese division.

This years winner is almost guarenteed to be Gigli.

Oh and Overall Estimates for the weekend: (I didn't see the other thread first so I'm just sticking with this )

1 The Cat in the Hat Uni. $40,078,000 - 3,464 - $11,569 $40,078,000
2 Gothika WB $19,620,000 - 2,382 - $8,236 $19,620,000
3 Elf NL $19,125,000 -27.4% 3,381 - $5,656 $95,142,000
4 Master and Commander Fox $15,200,000 -39.5% 3,101 - $4,901 $47,265,000
5 Love Actually Uni. $9,050,000 4% 1,690 +513 $5,355 $30,842,000
6 The Matrix Revolutions WB $6,740,000 -58.9% 3,024 -478 $2,228 $125,090,000
7 Brother Bear Dis. $5,466,000 -54.7% 2,885 -145 $1,894 $70,441,000
8 Looney Tunes: Back in Action WB $4,105,000 -55.9% 2,903 - $1,414 $14,781,000
9 Scary Movie 3 Dim. $3,284,000 -46.2% 2,359 -601 $1,392 $106,619,000
10 Radio Sony $2,600,000 -45.9% 1,925 -491 $1,350 $47,061,000
11 Mystic River WB $2,010,000 -38% 1,250 -300 $1,608 $48,549,000
12 Runaway Jury Fox $1,500,000 -46.1% 1,061 -521 $1,413 $46,818,000

A few other random ones:
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre NL $900,000 -65.6% 945 -662 $952 $79,177,000
The Human Stain Mira. $661,000 17.5% 388 +175 $1,703 $3,904,000
Kill Bill Vol. 1 Mira. $550,000 -61.5% 398 -505 $1,381 $68,402,000
Lost in Translation Focus $532,000 -24.7% 228 -73 $2,333 $28,061,000
21 Grams Focus $252,000 - 8 - $31,500 $252,000

Elf appears to be the clear surprise hit of the season, raking in nearly $100m after 3 weeks of release. The Cat In the Hat opened strongly (as expected) but will likely fall sharply in the upcoming weeks. Gothika performed about on par with Dark Castle releases, surprising since it missed the holloween season. Master and Commander dropped 40%, a stable amount and it could still continue to maintain a solid gross. I can't wait to see 21 Grams.
