This Weekend at the Boxoffice: 2007.Feb.20

[Hand of Evil]

Ghostrider rode to the top of the charts with 45 million, I thought it was a good movie but wat did you think? Oh, Eva Mendes, mmmmm!

 

[Joker]

I wonder if there has ever been a movie that kept making more money the longer it was in theaters.

I find it a little astonishing that Music & Lyrics, a romantic movie released on Valentine's Day, did so poorly.

You don't see it as much as you use to Tatantic was one of the last ones, it had a peak, when it came out and another at the time of Oscar then a long period of just hanging on making 5 million to 10 million a week, this lasted a year plus. it just floated in on the charts as 11 to 20, forever resulting in 500 million, which was more than its opening weekend, which was only $28,638,131.

Domestic: $600,788,188 32.6% + Foreign: $1,244,246,000 67.4% = Worldwide: $1,845,034,188

Now you have the DVD market, so that limits the life on the big screen. Companies seem to be using the big screen just for advertisement. DVD's make silly money, a lot of it, plus there are accounting loopholes for movie companies that make that market very lucrative.

I agree, it was a well done and funny movie.

I think the first Pirate's movie started off slow the first week and then steam rolled after that.

I'm amazed that Hugh Grant still gets used in romantic movies. I mean, he's a slimeball and an adulterer. I guess the accent counteracts some of that, but he's just so oily...
