Spider-Man 2 is now the 2nd fastest movie to break $300 million. It did it in 19 days (Shrek 2 did it in 18, the #3 spot is held by the original Spider-Man which did it in 22 days)

I just love boxofficemojo

And King Arthur is.. a bomb.

And King Arthur is.. a bomb.

I was telling one of my friends that if I want to see this in a theater that I better do it in the next three weeks or it'll be out of them and on DVD with the special edition following the week after.

It's not a bomb, it's just misunderstood!

 

[Hand of Evil]

It's not a bomb, it's just misunderstood!

I think the term is a cult classic.

But it is a bomb.

 

[Green Knight]

And if it is, then am I glad. Those ads where they said something like "The true origins of the story of King Arthur" were beyond insulting. And followed up by "There are a lot of lonely men out there", and Guinevere's "Don't worry. I won't let them touch you" response. Yeah, I'm sure that that's exactly how it happened in reality. Guinevere with her funny 21st century sounding quip.
