Great opening for Mexico...decent one for Matchstick Men, but I'm sure it'll have good legs with good word of mouth. Pirates is gonna hit $300 mill. That's amazing.

Dickie only dropped off 24% in it's second week. That's scarier than cabin fever.

Glad to see Pirates banking still.

Also, Freaky Friday (another Disney film) seems to be doing really well. For the most part, I'm glad to see that's had some success as well.

Once Upon A Time In Mexico #1

Pirates Of the Caribbean still going strong with only a 12% difference from last week

at this rate, it might still be in the Theatrical Top 10 when it's released on DVD...

Johnny must be an especially happy man today, considering he has two movies in the top five ...and the being idolized by millions thing.

The word of mouth on OUATIM is going to kill its box office next weekend. I've never seen so many 1-star reviews for a film in recent memory than this one, which has disappointed many for being too convoluted, and reduced El Mariachi to almost an after-thought in this 3rd installment.

Seabiscuit has to be one of the biggest suprises of the summer (next to POTC and FvJ) Its doing better than higly marketed movies like American Wedding and SWAT and its just in the rearview of Bad Boys 2. And POTC is amazing also, but i think enough ppl have said that already

I have to disagree with you there. Every single review I've read about Once Upon A Time has been excellent. All the reviews acknowledge that this isn't exactly great drama or anything but that it's just a fun and entertainin movie, which is what the director set out to do. If you check Rottentomatoes.com the fresh rating is at 71% for the movie. I don't think that word of mouth will kill the movie at all. I don't think it's going to be a giant movie like Pirates of the Caribbean, but it should perform well overall.

Impressive take for OUATIM, I didn't think it'd break $20M. As for Matchstick Men, I think it really doesn't have an audience as people aren't real sure as to what it is - except good, since the reviews have been nothing but stellar.

Saw Once Upon A Time In Mexico last night and was very disappointed. I thought the camera work was real ropey in places and was quite bored with it. When I came out I noticed Jeepers Creepers 2 was just starting so I sneaked into see that cause I thought it wouldn't be worth paying for. I thought it was a very good sequel and much better than OUATIM. I just hoped it would do better at the boxoffice so we could see another Creeper sequel.
