Box Office Roundup: “Shrek” threequel redefines cutting-edge humor as “making fun of dinner theater”

May 20, 2007 /

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.”

Box Office Roundup: If you’re walking around the Sony lot, wear a helmet

May 14, 2007 /

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.

Box Office Roundup: The only thing grinding is Harvey Weinstein’s teeth

April 8, 2007 /

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

1) Blades of Glory: $23 million, $68.3 million to date (Deb Medsker, Punch and Pie Pictures)
Chazz Michael Michaels is one of the greatest names in movie history.
2) Meet the Robinsons: $17 million, $52.2 million to date (Kristin Dreyer Kramer, Nights and Weekends)
Meet the second underwhelming effort from Disney’s CGI department. Now you know why they bought Pixar.
3) Are We Done Yet?: $15 million, $19 million to date (David Medsker, Republicans for Voldemort)
Ice Cube once said “Fuck Hollywood, man” at the end of the Public Enemy song. Clearly some punctuation and accenting were missing. What he really meant was, “Fuck, Hollywood, man!”
4) Grindhouse: $11.5 million (Bill Clark, ‘300’ Should Have Tanked)
No one dares ask whose bones are sitting in a pile outside Harvey Weinstein’s desk, but you can’t help but notice that no one’s seen Robert Rodriguez’s kids lately.
5) The Reaping: $10 million (Will Harris, What’s All This, Then?)
Ms. Swankalicious has to be proud of squeezing $10 million out of an oft-bumped supernatural thriller opening on Easter weekend.
6) 300: $8.8 million, $193.8 million to date (Mark Pfeiffer, Reel Times)
Kurt Russell’s jingoism be damned, we think King Leonidas would make a mighty fine Snake Plissken.
7) Wild Hogs: $6.8 million, $145.4 million to date (owner: Kristin Dreyer Kramer, Nights and Weekends)
We’re out of jokes for this one. Moving on…
8) Shooter: $5.8 million, $36.6 million to date (David Medsker, Republicans for Voldemort)
People just have no respect for the art of blowing shit up anymore.
9) TMNT: $4.9 million, $46.7 million to date (owner: Kevin Carr, But I Liked ‘Lady in the Water’)
Cowabunga. Pizza. Vanilla Ice. Moving on.
10) Firehouse Dog: $4 million (Bill Clark, ‘300’ Should Have Tanked)
Bill is now angling for that first pick in the summer draft, though Jason is out-slacking him by leaps and bounds.

Standings so far:
1) Reel Times: $330 million
2) Nights and Weekends: $222 million
3) What’s All This, Then: $193.6 million
4) Republicans for Voldemort: $137 million
5) Punch and Pie Pictures: $122.4 million
6) But I Liked ‘Lady in the Water’: $119.6 million
7) ‘300’ Should Have Tanked: $93.4 million
8) Se7en Strangers Productions: $73.7 million

This week: A whole bunch of mid-tier movies hit the multiplexes, namely “Disturbia,” “Perfect Stranger,” “Pathfinder: Legend of the Ghost Warrior,” “Slow Burn,” “Year of the Dog,” and “Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters,” among others.

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.
