Box Office Roundup: Ahhhhrrrrr.

Based on Sunday’s estimates, courtesy of boxofficemojo.com:

1) Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest: $132 million (first week)
Ho, ly, shit. A new record. Enjoy it while you can, Disney; your movie stinks, and next week, despite your only new competition being “You, Me and Dupree” and “Little Man,” you’re going to experience a maaaaaaaajor league dropoff. You know, sort of like…
2) Superman Returns: $21.9 million ($141.7 million, second week)
Oh yes, there will be blood on the Warner Brothers studio floor.
3) The Devil Wears Prada: $15.6 million ($63.7 million, second week)
Fox, on the other hand, is going to triple their money on this little number. Rupert Murdoch takes the proceeds and decides to buy Mexico, renaming it Upper Australia.
4) Click: $12 million ($105.9 million, third week)
Of course, if we had that universal remote, our first choice would have been to erase “Little Nicky” from existence.
5) Cars: $10.3 million ($205.5 million, fifth week)
I had a guy tell me this weekend that the reason I didn’t like “Cars” was because I didn’t “get” it, because I’m not rural enough. It took all of my strength not to laugh at him.

Box Office Roundup: Finger finger, trigger trigger, click click. Click click click.

Based on Sunday’s estimates, courtesy of boxofficemojo.com:

1) Click: $40 million (first week)
That’ll be the sound you hear when this movie is played on broadcast TV.
2) Cars: $22.5 million ($155.9 million, third week)
As Fillmore says, respect the classics. Like “Finding Nemo” and “The Incredibles.”
3) Nacho Libre: $12.1 million ($52.7 million, third week)
Go listen to Jill Sobule’s song “Mexican Wrestler” instead. It’s better and takes only four minutes.
4) Waist Deep: $9.5 million (first week)
You can put his name on the marquee, but that doesn’t mean that Tyrese Gibson is an actor.
5) The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift: $9.2 million ($42.6 million, second week)
It figures that Vin Diesel would express interest in his old franchise right as it’s grinding to a halt.

Box Office Roundup: Nacho business donkey wrestler

Based on Sunday’s estimates, courtesy of boxofficemojo.com:

1) Cars: $31.1 million ($114.5 million, second week)
The good news: it held the #1 spot for two weeks. The bad news: it fell off 48% from its opening week. The word is getting out: Pixar laid its first egg. Go see “Over the Hedge” again instead.
2) Nacho Libre: $27.5 million (first week)
For God’s sake, is anyone going to make a decent movie this month?
3) The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift: $24 million (first week)
Two movies in the top five about racing, and “Talladega Nights” is on the horizon. It’s a great big NASCAR world.
4) The Lake House: $13.6 million (first week)
Or, “Give the audience a happy ending, no matter how implausible or insulting it may be.”
5) The Break-Up: $9.5 million ($91.9 million, third week)
Chicago deserves to have better movies shot there than “The Lake House” and this.

Only two months to the day until “Snakes on a Plane.” And still no trailer. They’re killing us.
