Based on Sunday’s estimates, courtesy of boxofficemojo.com:
1) Shrek the Third: $122 million
Somewhere in Hollywood, Mel Brooks is thinking to himself, “If I set the campfire scene from ‘Blazing Saddles’ to CGI animation, I’d be rich! Rich, I tell you! Muaaaahhh ha ha ha hahahahahahaha!”
2) Spider-Man 3: $28.5 million, $281.8 million to date
Only $220 million to go before it recoups the promotional budget.
3) 28 Weeks Later: $5.1 million, $18.6 million to date
Eeek. We’re guessing there’s been a rage outbreak at Fox Atomic over the performance of this movie.
4) Disturbia: $3.6 million, $71.3 million to date
Like we said, Shia LaBeouf is about to become the Biggest Star on the Planet.
5) Georgia Rule: $3.4 million, $12.6 million to date
Wave goodbye to women in movies, everyone. You’ll see them again in the fall.
11) Next: $1.1 million, $16.5 million to date.
Look at that again. This $70 million Nic Cage movie has made $16 million to date. We can hear the conversation already. “Sure, Cage is interested, but he’s no Shia LaBeouf.”
