So, I guess the Grindhouse will have legs and hang around for a long time argument has been all shot to hell. Some sites think it will finish in the top 10 though, but with bad numbers and at 9 or 10 so it's nothing to be too excited about.
Better than expected numbers for Disturbia.

Does any movie have "legs" anymore that isn't some family friendly kind of thing? I guess Wild Hogs has kind of hung around, although in a steady drop. It just started high. But I don't see movies like Titanic, movies that opened okay, and kept getting bigger and bigger. Of course Titanic was a freak exception, so I shouldn't compare anything to it.

A lot of movies that open at #1 don't tend to have stellar reviews. When A Stranger Calls and Dead Man's Chest come to mind.

Well, boxofficemojo lists Grindhouse as #10 just ahead of #11 Aqua Teen (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/) Some good numbers for Disturbia (which actually got better reviews than I thought it would with a current 67% tomatometer), and I can not believe that Wild Hogs is still in the top ten but 300 (which came out a week later) is now out of the top ten.

I guess I will have to go see Grindhouse again this week before its gone. Its a shame people don't know what good entertainment is.

At the end of this, I think the marketing department should take the fall for the poor performance of Grindhouse. Almost no one in the general public know what (1) grindhouse cinema is and (2) what the grindhouse "movies" are about. I mean, the trailer doesn't really portray 'Terror Planet' as a zombie film, all it shows is a bunch of cool shots of a girl with a machine gun leg. Hell, if I would of known that it was a zombie film, I would of been there day one.. On the other hand, 'Death Proof', just looks like some random movie with a truck. Add those two things, put it in a 30 second TV spot and you have mass confusion.
Glad to see ATHFTCMFFT (I love typing that) actually made alittle money. Can't wait for the DVD. I may try to break down and see Grindhouse before it leaves the theaters, which at this rate, won't be that much longer.

Yeah, cause the cultural phenomenon card isn't played at all when it comes to QT? This was built up as some epic movie experience for months and it failed plain and simply.
