Wow, Malibu's most wanted had more then Bullet proof monk.

how in the world did Malibu's Most Wanted make that much?

I'm glad the movie with the embedded ads opened behind the Jamie Kennedy movie and Holes.

Don't be hatin.

You're kidding right?

Tell me:

Have you ever walked...well...anywhere and not seen those types of people?

Wiggernomics.

Top bunk went like five times.. What else would he do with his money to keep it away from his parents for rent..

Poor Chow Yun Fat... by all rights this man should be getting roles from the best directors in the business, instead of some goofy 'American Pie' slash 'Iron Monkey' flick... I'll wait for the video on that one.

$17M for Holes - impressive.

anyone else feel Eminem has been owned?

Still hard to fathom.

I'm glad Bulletproof Monk made very little money...hopefully they'll think twice about a BM2, and instead make a GOOD movie.

hey Bulletproof Monk may have fell but it made 8mil this past weekend which is better then the 3mil it made the previous which means more ppl went to see it so in actuality it did better


not that I want it to do good/bad just thought i'd point that out

But how many 'top directors' are making Kung-Fu/Karate movies? I haven't seen him in anything other than martial arts movies. If he doesn't do other movies, don't expect top directors to come calling.

Um, last weekend WAS "Bulletproof Monk"'s first weekend, period. It opened Wednesday the 16th and had made $3 million up until last weekend's figures, or a total of $11 million Wed-Sun.

The only Kung Fu/Karate movies he's made are Crouching Tiger and this Bulletproof Junk movie. He isn't famous for his Kung-Fu films.

Malibu's Most Wanted made more money than Bulletproof Junk because it's a better movie. I'll check out Malibu's Most on video...I'll NEVER check out Bulletproof Suck.

Got a little quickness in ya?

Yup.. into the dollar theater in 2 weeks!!

Very impressive, considering you really didn't hear much about it until it came out to rave reviews. I think this movie is going to have legs.

Honk!

1. Anger Management - $25,005,588 (Estimate: $26,500,000)
2. Holes - $16,300,155 (Estimate: $17,600,000)
3. Malibu's Most Wanted - $12,618,159 (Estimate: $13,200,000)
4. Bulletproof Monk - $8,653,542 (Estimate: $8,400,000)
5. Phone Booth - $5,674,565 (Estimate: $5,500,000)
6. What a Girl Wants - $4,503,277 (Estimate: $4,600,000)
7. Bringing Down the House - $3,280,980 (Estimate: $3,400,000)
8. A Man Apart - $2,804,432 (Estimate: $2,600,000)
9. House of 1,000 Corpses - $2,522,026 (Estimate: $2,300,000)
10. Chicago - $2,501,139 (Estimate: $2,300,000)

With the exception of Bulletproof Monk, Phone Booth, A Man Apart, House of 1000 Corpses, and Chicago; all the estimates were higher than the actual weekend grosses.

Also nice to see:
13. A Mighty Wind - $2,112,140 (in only 133 theaters)
14. Bend It Like Beckham - $1,953,572 (in only 392 theaters)
22. Better Luck Tomorrow - $487,692 (in only 42 theaters)

Particularly since it only cost $20 mil

Aren't they always? That's what we call "studio hype" for ya...

I would love to see a sequel. Enjoyed the first one and think a second one would be even better. As far as I am concerned, they already made a GOOD movie with the first one, but I know I am in the minority with that opinion.
