‘Ocean’s 13′ Earns $13 Million

Big question. Can anyone give me the name of Angie’s book that was referred to in an old thread. I just saw O13 and I loved it. As for Angie and an Academy Award. She will get nominated even if it’s just to increase viewers for the show. Even though she should win. Love Brad and Angie.

I’m very HAPPY that Ocean’s 13 debuted in #1 with $37.1 millions!! That is very good!! I’m happy that the Manistons/Haters are “Screaming at the Ocean” or having a “Pity Party” because Ocean’s 13 did very well at the box office!!

Spain… SIEMPRE adoro las contestaciones que les das a los Estupidos Manistons!! Eres una mujer MUY MUY CHISTOSA!! Y me encanta leer tus mensajes!! Continua CHINGANDO LA MADRE a estos ESTUPIDOS PENDEJOS!!

‘Ocean’s Thirteen’ wins weekend
Heist film knocks down ‘Pirates’
By IAN MOHRHollywood’s summer of sequels could be showing signs of audience fatigue.
“Ocean’s Thirteen,” the third installment in the star-studded caper franchise from Warners and Village Roadshow, landed the No. 1 spot at the box office over the weekend with $37.1 million, but took in less than the openings of the previous two pics in a mild moviegoing frame overall.

Lionsgate’s “Hostel Part II” bowed in sixth place, taking in just $8.75 million. Original pic, also with a hard R rating, posted $19.5 million in its opening last January.

Both “Ocean’s” and “Hostel” shifted from the winter debuts of their predecessors into summer slots .

Sony’s animated family pic “Surf’s Up,” may also have suffered from over-familiarity, taking in a modest $18 million from 3,528 locations. It’s the latest Hollywood film centered on penguins and follows on the heels of Warner’s CG Oscar winner “Happy Feet.”

Paramount and DreamWorks Animations’ “Shrek the Third” could have stolen some of the “Surf’s Up” mojo. The CG pic is still stomping among the top 10 and took in $15.75 million in its fourth weekend, raising its cume to $281.8 million after a month in release. A year ago over the same frame, Disney launched “Cars” to No. 1 and more than $60 million.

As for the “Ocean’s” franchise, “Ocean’s Twelve,” despite landing poor critical notices, was the highest opener so far, hauling in $39.1 million in its first frame. “Ocean’s Eleven” did $38.1 million in its debut.Latest installment — penned by Brian Koppel-man and David Levien, and produced by Jerry Weinstraub — didn’t quite live up to expectations. Tracking data had the pic on a pace to jump ahead of the other two films in the series by taking in around $40 million.

But Warners distribution topper Dan Fellman said he expects the pic to wind up with the biggest opening week of any of the “Ocean’s” pics by picking up healthy midweek biz during its summer playtime.

Exec noted that most of the pic’s audience was over 25, a factor that tends to build biz after opening weekend. Pic could have a good run with the over-25 crowd as younger-skewing films, including “Nancy Drew” and the latest “Fantastic Four” movie, enter the marketplace next weekend.

This summer’s B.O. pace has now fallen slightly behind that of 2004, the biggest on record, by 1% or $15.1 million, according to Nielsen EDI.

Among holdovers, Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” managed to slow its decline in its third frame, sliding 52% after a 61% plummet last weekend, to nail the No. 2 slot and bring its cume to $253.6 million domestically.

Universal’s “Knocked Up,” the relationship laffer from Judd Apatow, kicked into third place in its soph sesh, with $20 million. Cume now stands at $66.2 million on the modestly budgeted breakout.

“Hostel,” meantime, marked another disappointment for the previously hot horror genreposting a per-theater average of just $3,723 off 2,350 locations.

Other recent horror sequels have been unable to carve as big a slice of the B.O. as their predecessors: “The Hills Have Eyes II,” “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning” and “The Grudge 2″ failed to land at the same levels as the pics that spawned them. And other, more recent, horror originals, including “Grindhouse” and “Vacancy,” also have gone off the rails.

Among other holdovers on the top 10, Sony’s “Spider-Man 3″ snared another $4.4 million and swung its cume past $325.6 million after six weeks in release.

MGM’s “Mr. Brooks” sneaked up to $18.6 million, by adding $5 million over the weekend.

Another thriller, Paramount and DreamWorks’ “Disturbia,” remained in the top 10 after nine frames. Pic starring Shia La-Beouf has cumed $77.7 million.

Reflecting the weakness of the frame below the top few pics , “Disturbia” landed at No. 10 by playing just 568 theaters. And Fox Searchlight’s “Waitress” served up a No. 9 perf with $1.65 million from just 708 locations as a platform rollout and one of the season’s counterprogramming specialty film successes.

Fox Searchlight also expanded its “Once” to under 100 screens over the frame.

HBO and New Line’s Picturehouse, opened Edith Piaf biopic “La Vie En Rose” in eight locations for a healthy $171,786 off eight screens. That accounted for a $21,473 per-screen average.

Picturehouse topper Bob Berney said he sees summer opening up for specialty fare as auds tire of the blockbusters.

For those fans who are disappointed with the $37 mil and the haters who are thrilled that O13 flopped… tell me… what would you say if it makes more money next week? It’s been known to happen - I think it happened with Elf - will it still be a failure?

Standards, people.

Is O13 a ‘flop’ when you put it next to, say, Perfect Strangers and Mr. Brooks?

Ocean’s did $37.1 million, according to studio estimates from box office trackers Nielsen EDI. The haul exceeded most analysts’ expectations and easily knocked Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End from the No. 1 perch, which it held for two weeks.

This movie is not a flop. It made it. $37 mil is a great amount to make in film. It also beat Pirates and surf’s up. Great job in my book. The movie was really good. I loved it and I am going to see it again.

It is just an early estimate for Press Release and for a studio can brag on being number and other studios can re-group. Daily receipts are then added to the total each day until the next weekend. JMO

Ocean’s 13 is overrated because its all over the place. There’s too much press coverage of this film. I see it as a bunch of 40 somethings trying to act young and cool. I prefer Oscar worthy films like AMH. I doubt it will receive box office success, because I still have to see a trailer of AMH. Hopefully it will receive an Oscar nomination for Best Picture and Best Actress.

Too much press? compared to what? Pirates? Spiderman? Shrek?

40 year olds trying to act young and cool? um, I saw NOTHING in the movie that would make me think they were trying to “act young”.. and btw, they dont have to ACT to be cool, they just ARE.

How old are you? 16? One day You will be in your 40’s and will see how silly you were at thinking 40 is old.

Why is everyone so concerned with Ocean’s 13’s box office results?? It’s obviously a guaranteed #1, I mean with that many A-Listers in one film. And with so much press coverage of the film in the past two weeks.
