Brad & Angelina @ Luton Aiport

(To all the box office nuts out there)

This pretty much proves that you don’t have to make a good movie to make money, you just have to make a kid flick, because Bee Movie is terrible.

BOX-OFFICE NEWS
‘Bee Movie’ Vies for Box-Office #1
‘Gangster’ still holding strong and ‘Claus’ looking bad

Rated R or not, people finally decided to go see a good movie as what should have happened with the battle of The Kingdom and The Game Plan, American Gangster has taken the top spot at the box-office as Friday estimates show it taking it $7.2 million as it shows on 3,059 screens. However, this is not the big story of the day. Bee Movie has actually not dropped off as much as expected. Bad reviews “bee” damned as the little animated feature is now estimated to bring in $25.7 million after taking in $6.2 million on Friday. This pretty much proves that you don’t have to make a good movie to make money, you just have to make a kid flick, because Bee Movie is terrible.
The big question is whether or not the kiddies will support Bee Movie more over the weekend, or if enough adults will turn out to give American Gangster it’s second winning weekend in a row.

Taking it in the ass, and rightfully so, is the Warner Bros. release Fred Claus. The new Christmas flick that was oddly released two weeks before Thanksgiving is expected to bring in around $20.5 million after its $5.2 million Friday opening. Following up Fred the political war drama Lions for Lambs, which given the current environment it is no surprise that it only managed $2.1 million on Friday and is trending toward a $7.2 million weekend.

The other new releases include the late-to-the-game thriller P2, which managed only $660k on Friday and then the great Coen brothers flick No Country for Old Men bringing in $350k as it played on only 28 screens in its limited theatrical rollout.

Thanks for posting that and I am so glad Brad’s name keeps coming up in Oscar talk. How can they say TAOJJ failed to find an audience? I feel like it wasn’t even given a proper chance.

WB sucks big time.

For some reason my posts don’t appear.

Jared,do you have a problem with me?
Just kidding.

Rottentomatoes gathers every review by every critic and compiles them together.

The political drama Lions For Lambs debuted on Friday with an estimated $2.2M. The MGM. release which stars Robert Redford, Meryl Streep, and Tom Cruise looks to take in roughly $7M over the Friday-to-Sunday period marking Cruise’s worst opening since 1999’s Magnolia which grossed $5.7M during its first weekend of semi-wide release after a platform bow. Compared to Cruise’s leading roles, Lions For Lambs should end up posting the lowest debut since Rain Man opened to $7M in December 1988. That eventual Oscar winner launched in half as many theaters and played at a time when ticket prices were much less.

It didn’t find an audience because Warner Bros dumped the Movie and rode the clooney train. However, as BP stated, a good movie will find an audience. BP is getting critical acclaim for his role. Hopefully, as with Babel,it will get a wider audience as the Award season progresses. Both BP and CA performances have been praised. Either way, BP and Plan B made a film they can be proud of. Peace to all.

Not the studios fault jan michael vincent’s not allowed/wanted on jay, david, conan or any other talk/radio show to help promote his projects.

Poor Jenloonie!! the ONLY womb who is TOXIC is the womb of Maniston!!

Angelina’s womb is fertile!! Shiloh is the BEAUTUFIL proof!!

bwhahahahahaha she’s not preggy.
If they are doing so much ‘’baby making’’ how come she’s not pregnant yet. Either her womb is too toxic to conceive of they can’t stand to touch each other.
bwhahahahahahaha

Stop making fun of Jen’s toxic womb. After all, she’s the one who did not produce the Pitt heir. Angelina has already produced Shiloh, so her womb cannot be toxic.

Sorry for the double post. Computer acting up!

cool… on thursday taojj made $29,000 - that’s really nice. lol to bad it will never make 30million. ouch

++++++++++++++

Don’t worry your ugly little head about totals for AOJJ. It’ll make those ingrates at Warners plenty of dough. As we’ve already proved the studios don’t make their profits at the box office, dipshit. They make their money on rentals, DVD sales and tv/PPV/cable contracts. In the long run - Warners will make a nice hefty profit off of Brad - as usual.

Now scat! Don’t you have some babies and puppies to kick?

meli, are you going to tomorrow’s premiere?
