Box Office Roundup: Animated, pizza-eating turtles box office hit despite absence of Vanilla Ice

March 25, 2007 /

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

1) TMNT: $25.5 million (owner: Kevin Carr, But I Liked ‘Lady in the Water’)
In one weekend, Kevin’s second pick outgrossed his first pick (“Daddy’s Little Girls”). He’s still not getting out of the bottom half of the standings, though.
2) 300: $20.5 million, $162.4 million to date (Mark Pfeiffer, Reel Times)
Someone cut this movie to the tune of “It’s Raining Men.” Yep, that makes sense.
3) Shooter: $14.5 million (David Medsker, Republicans for Voldemort)
Once again, we nominate Pablo Francisco to do all voice work for Danny Glover from now on.
4) Wild Hogs: $14.3 million, $123.8 million to date (owner: Kristin Dreyer Kramer, Nights and Weekends)
This certainly takes the sting out of the performance of “Hannibal Rising,” plus she has “Meet the Robinsons” dropping next week. Look out, Mark.
5) The Last Mimzy: $10.2 million (Mark Pfeiffer, Reel Times)
As last-round picks go, this is a steal. As snappy one-liners go, we’re completely stumped.
6) Premonition: $10.1 million, $32.1 million to date (Mark Pfeiffer, Reel Times)
Don’t laugh; this movie has nearly doubled its budget in two weeks.
7) The Hills Have Eyes 2: $10 million (Jason Zingale, Se7en Strangers)
America, it appears, is not nearly as excited about mutant rape as Hollywood would like you to believe.
8) Reign Over Me: $8 million, $58.2 million to date (Mark Pfeiffer, Reel Times)
Hot girl walks into a dentist’s office, says she wants to blow him. Is this a 9/11 drama, or a porno?
9) Pride: $4 million (Bill Clark, 300 Should Have Tanked)
Bill has been going on and on all season about how “Pride” was going to make huge bank. We all just smiled politely.
10) Dead Silence: $3.4 million, $13.2 million to date (Mark Pfeiffer, Reel Times)
You mean “From the writer and director of ‘Saw’” isn’t enough to sell a movie? What kind of world do we live in? A better one than we lived in two years ago, if you ask us.

Standings so far:
1) Reel Times: $237.5 million
2) What’s All This, Then: $176.5 million
3) Nights and Weekends: $151.5 million
4) Republicans for Voldemort: $97.8 million
5) But I Liked ‘Lady in the Water’: $84.2 million
6) ‘300’ Should Have Tanked: $77.7 million
7) Punch and Pie Pictures: $66.6 million
8) Se7en Strangers Productions: $54.4 million

This week: Two first-round picks square off as “Meet the Robinsons” takes on “Blades of Glory.” The crime thriller “The Lookout” hopes to get some of the crumbs. Also, we get to see “Grindhouse” on Tuesday, awwww yeah.

Bullz-Eye slips camera guy a twenty, gets three questions with “Children of Men” director Alfonso Cuarón

March 21, 2007 /

“Children of Men” is the best movie of 2006 that you never saw, and the fact that it wasn’t even nominated for Best Picture, frankly, is appalling. (We’ll bet dollars to donuts that the people behind “The Departed” did a happy dance when they saw that “Children” had been snubbed.) We at Bullz-Eye are proud proponents of the film, and to promote the movie’s release on DVD, we were offered the opportunity to submit questions to “Children of Men” director Alfonso Curaón about the movie’s massive tracking shots (all of which are contained in the videos below), what aspects of the movie’s subject matter appealed to him, and whether or not we’ll see him behind the camera for one of the final “Harry Potter” movies (Curaón directed “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”) .

Also, for the truly inspired, there will be a forum at Amazon.com that discusses the political and social aspects of the film, beginning Monday, March 26 at 9PM EST/6PM PST. You say you want a revolution? Well, you know…

Box Office Roundup: America has no respect whatsoever for its time

March 6, 2007 /

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

1) Wild Hogs: $39.7 million (owner: Kristin Dreyer Kramer, Nights and Weekends)
Kristin is thrilled to finally draft a movie that debuts at the top of the box office, and is utterly mortified that this is the movie that got her there.
2) Zodiac: $13.4 million (Jason Zingale, Seven Strangers)
And with the fourth pick in the draft, Se7en Strangers selects…the biggest bust of the season so far.
3) Ghost Rider: $11.6 million, $94.8 million to date (owner: Will Harris, What’s All This, Then?)
The repercussions of this will be felt for years to come. Fuck you, Nicolas Cage.
4) Bridge to Terabithia: $8.9 million, $58.2 million to date (Bill Clark, Norbit Will Tank)
Next.
5) The Number 23: $6.5 million, $24.1 million to date (Deb Medsker, Punch and Pie Pictures)
Jim Carrey will now have to add up his salaries from multiple movies to equal the $23 million he was once able to command for one movie.
8) Black Snake Moan: $4.1 million (Kevin Carr, But I Liked ‘Lady in the Water’)
If we didn’t already learn it last summer, It is now clear that combining “Snake” and “Samuel L. Jackson” in the same sentence does not equal box office success.

Standings so far:
1) What’s All This, Then: $143.3 million
2) Republicans for Voldemort: $82.9 million
3) Nights and Weekends: $74.4 million
4) But I Liked ‘Lady in the Water’: $67 million
5) Norbit Should Have Tanked (formerly Norbit Will Tank): $58.2 million
6) Punch and Pie Pictures: $49.6 million
7) Reel Times Studios: $38.6 million
8) Se7en Strangers Productions: $30 million

The booed-at-the-Berlin Film Festival graphic novel “300” finally arrives, and everyone else is staying the hell out of the way.

Box Office Roundup: Nicolas Cage’s soul fetches $11 more than Eddie Murphy’s

February 18, 2007 /

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

1) Ghost Rider: $44.5 million (owner: Will Harris, What’s All This, Then?)
Ladies and gentlemen, meet the steal of the first round. Taken with the ninth pick of the draft (two spots after this week’s fifth place finisher), Nicolas Cage shows that his ham still has some legs. Wow, was that a bad joke. Oh well, the movie didn’t deserve a better one.
2) Bridge to Terabithia: $22.1 million (Bill Clark, Norbit Will Tank)
Disney didn’t even screen this one for critics (well, they screened it for Cincinnati, but Columbus was skipped), and they still took home a very handsome sum of money. The news surely bodes well for Nights and Weekends, who took “Meet the Robinsons” with the first pick overall.
3) Norbit: $16.8 million, $58.8 million to date (owner: David Medsker, Republicans for Voldemort)
A 51% drop-off from last week, meaning that every other person who saw this movie on opening weekend told someone they should see it. Hey, check out the oceans! Are they turning red?
4) Music & Lyrics: $14 million, $19.5 million to date (Mark Pfeiffer, Reel Times)
Gosh, are the ‘80s over…again?
5) Tyler Perry’s Daddy’s Little Girls: $12.1 million, $17.8 million to date (Kevin Carr, But I Liked Lady in the Water)
No fat suit, no cash cow.
6) Breach: $10.3 million (Deb Medsker, Punch and Pie Pictures)
Hey, Chris Cooper’s back! What do you mean, who?
7) Hannibal Rising: $5.4 million, $22.1 million to date (owner: Kristin Dreyer Kramer, Nights and Weekends)
To give you some perspective on just how spectacular a fall this is for the “Hannibal” franchise, the 2001 sequel “Hannibal” made $58 million its opening weekend. This “Hannibal” won’t come within sniffing distance of that in its entire run. In other news, sales of Chianti have plummeted.

This week: Another super-crowded weekend, led by Jim Carrey’s the-numbers-are-evil thriller “The Number 23,” Billy Bob Thornton’s “The Astronaut Farmer,” “Reno 911!: Miami” and “Amazing Grace, which we couldn’t tell you a thing about.

Box Office Roudup: Eddie Murphy sells soul for $33.7 million

February 11, 2007 /

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

1) Norbit: $33.7 million (owner: David Medsker, Republicans for Voldemort)
Several league members came up to me after the screening and said, “I hope you’re proud of yourself.” Bill Clark’s new studio name, “Norbit Will Tank,” has been reduced to wishful thinking.
2) Hannibal Rising: $13.3 million (owner: Kristin Dreyer Kramer, Nights and Weekends)
At last, we learn the awful truth: the Nazis are to blame for Hannibal Lecter. Sweet Jesus.
3) Because I Said So: $9 million, $25.6 million to date (Will Harris, What’s All This, Then?)
Kristin claims that the Diane Keaton character is a lot like her mother. I wanted to hug her after she told me that. Poor, poor girl.
4) The Messengers: $7.2 million$24.7 million to date (owner: Kevin Carr, But I Liked ‘Lady in the Water’)
Kevin’s fifth-round pick has racked up a phenomenal amount of money. My fifth-round pick, “Balls of Fury,” was moved to September.
5) Night at the Museum: $5.7 million, $232.1 million to date
This might be the worst top five in movie history.

This week: Rom-com goddess Drew Barrymore drops “Music & Lyrics,” and Chris Cooper makes a welcome return in the spy thriller “Breach.”
