Walk Hard flopped!

That's a shame. (I kinda want to see that one.)

Pretty neat about Sweeney Todd, though, considering that it's playing on about half as many screens as Charlie Wilson. (Not bad for an R-rated musical, either!)

i love when they have the guts to make an R rated movie.

i wanna see Dewy Cox too. it'll probably disappear before i get a chance though. i guess there's always a free preview weekend...

Have you guys seen the previews for National Treasure 2? Nicolas Cage's wig alone should have kept people from wanting to see that at the theater. Can't believe it made that much money.

galoot wants to see that so bad! he likes those kind of movies.

Has anybody seen Juno?
I can't make up my mind if to see it or not

i haven't, but i know lajoyce & milkdeeni have. check the 'what movie did you just see' thread.

(i'm pretty sure they both liked it, btw)

I wasn't nuts about it. I LOVE Michael Cera, though.

i think it's probably more of a chick flick.

Cloverfield had the biggest January opening ever.

And I'm pretty sure it's made its money back, and then some.

it was real cheap to make.

we're going to go see Cloverfield tonight.
I hope it's good

wow, Juno is still in the top 5. thats awesome!!

And i really hope cloverfeild is in the top 5 for as long, or even longer.

1. "Meet the Spartans," $18.7 million

2. "Rambo," $18.2 million

Cloverfield is hanging in there for you, Milk.

Meet the Spartans? No. 1? I fear for the future of the human race.

as long as there are teenage boys, there will be dumb satirical comedies for em.

YAY! Cloverfield is still up there!

And Juno is still in the top 10!!


Thanks, Biff!

I think she meant for posting it

it's good to see cloverfield, juno, and there will be blood still up there
i can't believe that stupid movie (meet the spartans) is #1
that's disappointing

i know klim. i was teasing.

i bet the Spartans won't stay #1 for long...

1. Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert, $29 million

2. The Eye, $13 million

3. 27 Dresses, $8.4 million

4. Juno, $7.5 million

5. Meet the Spartans, $7.1 million

6. Rambo, $7 million

7. The Bucket List, $6.9 million

8. Untraceable, $5.4 million

9. Cloverfield, $4.9 million

10. There Will Be Blood, $4.8 million

Yeesh, The Spartans and Rambo dropped pretty fast!

That's kinda funny about the Hannah Montana thing, too, considering that it only played on some 300-400 screens. (It didn't even play in Omaha -- our IMAX theater doesn't have the technology to handle feature-length stuff.)

i saw a thing in a magazine that was saying she could be a billionaire within 5 years. all the little girls are crazy about her.

actually, i think it was pretty cool of her to make that movie for all the little kids who couldn't afford tickets to one of her shows. hopefully they'll make it to where it can be shown everywhere.

i've never seen Hannah Montana, but anything that keeps a kid busy for an hour or so is ok in my book.

(but i'm glad i had boys & they're all grown up)

1) Fool's Gold (Warner Brothers): $22

2) Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour (Buena Vista): $21

3) Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (Universal): $15

4) The Eye (Lionsgate): $7

5) Juno (Fox Searchlight): $5.5

6) 27 Dresses (Fox): $5

7) Rambo (Lionsgate): $4.2

8) The Bucket List (Warner Brothers): $4.4

9) Meet the Spartans (Fox): $3.3

10) There Will Be Blood (Paramount Vantage): $3.2

grr I hate Matthew Mcconaughey
he's the biggest idiot I've ever seen!
I was hoping his movie would tank fast

I had to sit through a trailer for it when I went to see Sweeney Todd, and I thought it looked pretty stupid.

Glad to see There Will Be Blood still hanging in there, though!

there will be blood was really good! I recommend it

i saw/heard nothing but bad reviews for Fool's Gold. i bet it drops out of the top 10 pretty quick.

i still haven't seen There Will Be Blood.

1. "Jumper," $27.2 million.

2. "Step Up 2 the Streets," $19.7 million.

3. "The Spiderwick Chronicles," $19.1 million.

3. "Spiderwick Chronicles," $12.6 million.

4. "Step Up 2 the Streets," $9.8 million.

7. "Fool's Gold," $4.7 million.

8. "Penelope," $4 million.

9. "No Country For Old Men," $4 million.

10. "Juno," $3.4 million.


so, i guess even though it's #1, Semi Pro was a disappointment. maybe he'll stop doing all the sports parodys for a while.

& Juno & No Country are still hanging in there.

(no comment on Fool's Gold)

1. 10,000 B.C., $35.7 million

2. College Road Trip, $14 million

8. Jumper, $3.8 million

9. Step Up 2: The Streets, $3 million

10. Fool's Gold, $2.8 million


~ it might just be me, & alls i saw of it was the trailer on TV, but 10,000 BC looked really stoopid... not to mention totally unrealistic.

but hey... that's Hollywood for ya.

You can usually tell which movie is going to be on top by rottentomatoes.com. If it has a very low score, it's pretty much a given it's going to make the most money that weekend. 10,000 B.C. itself has a 07% rating.

i need to go there sometime...

I'd recommend it. (RottenTomatoes, that is -- 10,000 BC I couldn't care less about.)

That Semi-Pro dropped awfully fast...

yeah, i think Will's sports parody movies are starting to wear a little thin.

he's a funny guy, but "famous idiot loses job and then makes a come back" story is a bit tired now
I'm not sure if that's what semi-pro is about, but talladega, anchorman, and blades was like all the same story line. they were funny, but they're getting less and less funny

repetition will do that.

1. "Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who!", $45.1 million.

2. "10,000 B.C.," $16.4 million.

I read a few Dr. Seuss books as a kid but I never got around to Horton Hears a Who.

i looooved the original cartoon version. i doubt i'd like this new one nearly as much.

luckily, my kids are grown so i'll probably never know.

8. "Stop-Loss," $4.5 million.

9. "College Road Trip," $3.5 million.

10. "The Bank Job," $2.8 million.

God, I hope so!

they won't!

there's always gonna be dumb movies.

I'm ok with a movie being stupid, but I'm sick of these parody movies

they don't even come up with ANYTHING on there own.
they copy other movies, try to add a fart joke or something, and claim it as something original.

it's so stupid

i guess it doesn't matter that much to me, cuz i go to like one movie a year.

On a happier note, Horton was actually really good

Entertainment Weekly gave it an A.

i loved the cartoon so much as a kid... i don't know how i'd feel about the movie if i saw it.

1. "21," $15.1 million.

10. "Drillbit Taylor," $2.1 million.

Too bad about Smart People. That one looked pretty good...

what did it get in EW, like a B? that's pretty good for them...

It did.

I but if it were called stupid people, it'd be right at the top of the list

My sentiments exactly. (I think putting "smart" right there in the title probably hurt it more than anything.)

1. "The Forbidden Kingdom," $20.9 million.

2. "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," $17.3 million.

3. "Prom Night," $9.1 million.

10. Forgetting Sarah Marshall, USD 1 million



i don't have HBO, so i never watched Sex & The City... & when it came out in reruns on regular TV i never started. i figured it would be all cut up on regular TV. anyhoo, i have never been so sick of hearing about an upcoming movie in my whole life! last week, Entertainment Weekley devoted their entire issue to Sex & The City. aside from the letters to the editor, & the reviews, i skipped the whole thing.

if i wasn't getting it for free, i totally would have written them to say that "the Emperor has ugly clothes". cuz i mean seriously, have you seen some of the crap Carrie wore in that thing?

but, if you are a fan, i hope it was good for you. it made the most money an R rated movie has ever made on it's opening weekend, ever.

& now, hopefully, everybody can talk about something else.

Yeah, I'm getting sick of hearing about it, myself. (Don't get me started on the EW thing!)

the reviews haven't even been all that great. i'm curious to see how it does this coming weekend...

just as i suspected...

1. Kung Fu Panda, USD 60 million

2. You Don’t Mess With the Zohan, USD 40 million

3. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, USD 22.8 million

4. Sex and the City, USD 21.3 million

5. The Strangers, USD 9.3 million

6. Iron Man, USD 7.5 million

7. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, USD 5.5 million

8. What Happens in Vegas, USD 3.4 million

9. Baby Mama, USD 779,090

10. Made of Honor, USD 775,000 (ANI)


Indie passed it up, & it's been out longer. it had a huge opening weekend, but i don't think it has legs. i bet it's on the bottom next week, or totally gone from the top 10. we shall see...

Of course, it's already pretty much made its money back...

for the Panda! I'd really like to see that one.

EDIT: Wrong forum...

1. "The Incredible Hulk," $54.5 million.

2. "Kung Fu Panda," $34.3 million.

3. "The Happening," $30.5 million.

8. "The Strangers," $4.1 million.

9. "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian," $3 million.

10. "What Happens in Vegas," $1.7 million.

I've never been a Hulk fan so I was pretty amused when Edward Norton said he hated his own film.

i never heard that, but Entertainment Weekly said it kinda sucked. (i only skimmed the review, so if they quoted Ed in there, i wouldn't know)

it sucks that the happening didn't make more
it was actually a good story
a LOT of people hated it though

yeah, i keep reading that it's not all that good.

i'm curious to see how The Love Guru does this weekend, cuz i keep hearing horrible stuff about it.

yeah, I usually completely disagree with what critics say, so I don't worry too much about it. I think people are just too picky or closed minded or something. Usually say if it's a good movie, I like it, but over half the time, I like movies they say suck

yeah, critics aren't always right. i bet in the case of The Love Guru they will be though.

(the ones i read didn't HATE The Happening, they just didn't LOVE it)

1. "Get Smart," $39.2 million.

2. "Kung Fu Panda," $21.7 million.

3. "The Incredible Hulk," $21.6 million.

10. "The Strangers," $1.9 million.

1. "WALL-E," $62.5 million.

2. "Wanted," $51.1 million.

3. "Get Smart," $20 million.

4. "Kung Fu Panda," $11.7 million.

5. "The Incredible Hulk," $9.2 million.

6. "The Love Guru," $5.4 million.

7. "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," $5 million.

8. "The Happening," $3.9 million.

9. "Sex and the City," $3.8 million.

10. "You Don't Mess With the Zohan," $3.2 million.



The Love Guru is dropping like a rock. it restores my faith in humanity a little, for some reason.

That's great about WALL*E, too. (It sounds like it might be a good story... Plus, that little robot reminds me so much of the one in Short Circuit. )

Nathan had to hurry back to Little Rock yesterday cuz he was going to the 10:15 showing of Wall-E last night.

i think missing movies is one of his biggest hang ups about going to Austria.
