Weekend Box Office Thread - 10/26/2007 - 10/28/2007 - Saw this one coming.
Sunday's Estimates:
1. SAW IV LIONS GATE 3,183 7,257,600 2,280 n/a 31,730,000
2. DAN IN REAL LIFE BVI 1,921 3,314,640 1,725 n/a 12,068,000
3. 30 DAYS OF NIGHT SONY 2,859 1,866,900 653 -51% 27,295,000
4. GAME PLAN, THE BVI 3,342 1,833,720 549 -7% 77,012,000
5. TYLER PERRY'S WHY DID I GET MARRIED? LIONS GATE 1,897 1,722,420 908 -42% 47,251,000
6. MICHAEL CLAYTON WARNER BROS. 2,585 1,350,720 523 -7% 28,498,000
7. GONE BABY GONE MIRAMAX 1,713 1,059,660 619 -17% 11,205,000
8. NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, THE BVI 564 1,025,220 1,818 -27% 10,022,000
9. WE OWN THE NIGHT SONY 2,402 968,940 403 -28% 25,015,000
10. COMEBACKS, THE FOX ATOMIC 2,812 921,060 328 -14% 9,865,000
I'm amazed the Saw movies continue to have such a pull, especially this one which seemed to have little advertising and nil hype --- at least in my area.

I agree, I forgot it even existed until I noticed it listed as opening on Rotten Tomatoes. I know I never saw a mention of it on Television, and I watch way too much of it.

Yeah!.. at its 4th leg of the series.... SAW still carries a strong edge!

Some people think the franchise has already been milked; bullsh*t, it’s still going strong in terms of “Quality” after 3 movies and even though I’ll have to wait until Saw IV gets released on DVD, I don’t think I’ll be disappointed.

Amazing to see that amid all these underperforming films from the major studios the only hits (besides the Game Plan) are SAW IV and the Tyler Perry Movie. Both from LIONSGATE , and both the 4th in thier respective series. The Game plan is also a film with a tired formula as well. Proving once again people go to what is familiar to them.

It's very interesting to see that this is the "Friday the 13th" or "Nightmare on Elm Street" series for the 2000's (series that has a new installment each year, even once it gets up to number 4, 5, 6, etc...). I think that's kind of cool. There really wasn't one in the 90's, was there?

i kind of have a bet with someone at work. with Bee Movie coming out (and since a boot of the movie is already out), does anyone think American Gangster stands a chance at making over 30 mil next weekend?

With the exception of the first Saw, all the other flicks opened at about the $32 million mark. Does anybody know the budget on the fourth one?

I'll admit I expected Saw to be tops, but not with over $30mil. I didn't like this one nearly as much as the third, which was the logical conclusion to the series. Either way it is fun to have a new one to look forward to each year.

I have a feeling with the next two outings, they may be cheaper due to almost an entirely new crew in charge.
