Glad to see King's Ransom at the bottom, Sad to see the steady decline for Sin City. Wish Kung Fu Hustle was higher up (one case where I DO think the R-rating hurt it).

That is all.

Dammit! Does this mean we won't get to see Ashton Kutcher in an underwear ad? Dammit!

:mad: :mad: :mad:

Kung Fu Hustle did pretty good! Cool!

Pretty slow weekend. I actually thought Kung Fu Hustle would do a little better, but i suppose that's about right.

Looks like "Amityville Horror" will follow a similar pattern to last year's "Dawn of the Dead". But it cost less, so it'll turn a nice profit for MGM's last theatrical release.

Just about anything turns a profit now a days. have it be in theater or dvd. It's still a success for MGM.

Obviously everything is profitable with the popularity of dvd. But I was referring to box office gross. It's a bonus when you can make some major $$$ during the theatrical run.

"Amityville" didn't drop as much as I thought. Looks like a $60 mil gross.

That was a pretty "safe" bet he made! :D

Two Kutcher movies in the top 10. Looks like we've all been Punk'd.

Nice take for The Interpreter. I figured it'd open right around $20M.

Thanks for the info and hate to complain, but could you please use a table or something?

Hi!

Glad to see The Interpreter doing well. The question is will it be number one again next weekend.

Doubtful.

With XXX: State of the Union (if it opens at half of the original - $44 million - it will make about $22 million, or about what The Interpreter opened at this week), and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (with a cult following and decades of waiting), I don't think The Interpreter will stay in the number one spot.

Which is a shame, because it's a fairly good movie...

Interpreter will probably get bounced to #3 next weekend. I expect the cult of rabid "Hitchhiker's Guide..." fans (including me) to give it a pretty big opening weekend, but then it'll most likely drop off sharply in the weeks after. I'm guessing the lunkhead sequel to XXX will probably be in the top spot. I can't decide who's acting cred is going down the crapper faster, Ice Cube or Ashton Kutcher.

I know I'll be going to XXX2 this weekend.

I'll pray for you tonight.

It's nice to see a halfway intelligent, adult film at #1 for a change.

Man... Talk about a bomb. Anyone know how much the budget for State Property 2 was? This sounded like a direct-to-video movie that somehow made it to theatres.

I figure Hitchhiker is gonna make about $35-$40mil and xXx 2 to do about $23mil.

Interesting...

Well, Hitchhiker is a classic book, millions have read it, I'm assuming, I'm not one of them, although I've been meaning to for about 10 years. ;)

I think based on the popularity of the book and it's fans it can do $35mil easy.
