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.”

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

1) Spider-Man 3: $60 million, $242 million to date
Let the doomsday talk begin. Much will be made of the fact that “Spider-Man 3” dropped 60% at the box office, but remember two things: any movie that opens with a $150 million weekend is going to suffer a big drop-off, and it still made $60 million in its second week. The DreamWorks execs would slaughter their children to have “Shrek the Third” pull a stunt like that.
2) 28 Weeks Later: $10 million
Fast zombies plus a whole bunch of shit getting blow’d up? What’s not to love? Lots, to be honest, but we still expected it to do better than this.
3) Georgia Rule: $5.8 million
LiLo + Hanoi Jane = nobody cares.
4) Disturbia: $4.8 million, $66.2 million to date
From this to “Transformers,” Shia LaBeouf is now the Biggest Star on the Planet.
5) Delta Farce: $3.5 million
Last week, we received the following email from a fan of Larry the Cable Guy who apparently thought we stayed in regular contact with Larry after our email interview two years ago.

Dear Larry,

I am 13 years old and I have a new joke for you to say when you get done telling a joke about how frustrated you were. You say “I was more frustrated than Stevie Wonder playing whack-a-mole”

sincerely, (name withheld)
PS: Git-r-dun

This is your legacy, Larry. We hope you’re proud of yourself.

12) The Ex: $1.3 million
Don’t burn your TV bridges, Zach.
