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.
