‘Wanted’ Breaks Box Office Records

‘Wanted’ Breaks Box Office Records

The Angelina Jolie action thriller Wanted scored the best opening ever for an R-rated film released in June and the 6th best opening of all time for any R-rated pic, according to Variety.

The film, which also starred James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman, placed No. 2 at the box office this past weekend behind the endearing toon Wall-E.

At $23.1 million, Wall-E scored the biggest opening-day gross of all nine Pixar films and raked in an estimated $62.5 million for the weekend. Wanted soared beyond expectations, pulling in a whopping $51.1 million.

FYI: If you haven’t seen Wanted yet, you get to see Angie’s derrière in all its glory for a mere split-second.

BoxOfficeMojo’s Weekend Actuals

1. Wall-E $63,087,526 (total) - 3,992 (theaters) - $15,803 (avg per screen) $180M (budget)
2. Wanted $50,927,085 (total) - 3,175 (theaters) - $16,040 (avg per screen) $75 (budget)

If wanted had played in the same number of theaters it would have made an additional $13,104,680 and won the BO with a total of $64,031,765. Just thought I’d throw that out there since none of these “official” sites are saying it.

Tabitha -

I don’t think there ever were any love scenes in the script because Angie said one reason she was interested in the role was that Fox wasn’t the love interest/girlfriend.

This movie ruled. F*** the haters. That bit** who posted Angelina “flops” is delusional, because 99% of them were not her movies to carry. What a loon. Nor was “Wanted,” yet she has excelled. Get over it!!

I saw wanted today and I thought it was well done. I didn’t anticipate the ending though and find the movie was really good as a whole. We all got a look at what Brad is enjoying at home. Yes indeed , I’m straight but have to say that angie has it going on. She is truly a physical specimen and I see why men lose their mind and chase after her. She was truly hypnotic.

ready for the babies!

I was looking at butt shots of Brad and Angie. One thing is for certain, Shiloh and the twins will not have to worry about booty. They should inherit more than enough from their parents.

Dosen’t anyone have the link to the Entertainment Weekly with Angie on the cover. I couldn’t find it at any store, not even Barnes & Nobel. Please post it if you have it. Thanks

Okay guli, in five minutes check your e-mail. Peace

angelina has lots of supporter brad pitt non. you guys here you only love angie and her movie what about brad?. poor pittbull, hes aging and he doesnt have fans. george clooney is likeble compared to pitt. he has lots of supporter than brad pitt.

Went to see “Wanted” again today. It was even better the second time. I was ready for the blood etc, was able to focus more on the picture and storyline. Don’t know why some critics say the story is ridiculous, aren’t shot em up movies storylines far fetched. Look at “Hellboy”. Really enjoyed “Wanted”. Saw at 3:40 and theater was about little under 1/2 full. “Seven” is on Encore, Brad is so good looking, so cute!!!

Lunacy from the Nuts @ 06/30/2008 at 8:29 pm

LOL For the few members who got a kick out of those dumbos who are saying the ridiculous crap about our Angie wearing prosthetic bellies for her entire pregnancy and speculating that Angie was intending to use Holly’s baby as her own they had the gall to post all of that lunacy on the Elizabeth Sneadsnots LA times article.. SneadSnot actually wrote the exact same crap in her article as if she read their garbash so obviously knew she would get a lot of hits from the nutcases..
If i am not mistaken??? Arnt those post comments printed in the LA Times? If so what a***s they all made of themselves giving both mesaage bds addresses as well as posting the BV item from the idiot Bled C.. That girlman doesnt need his name printed here same as Liz Sneadsnot. Whats wrong with E.Sneadsnots head? How did she ever get her own spot as a writer at the LA Times repeating the same posts as they have at those hateful message bds especialy about the prosthetic bellies?

I have never read such insane crap in my life . Is this hate-speech from jealousy or do all of the mental cases gather in one place while either taking or not taking proper meds? Writers like Bled C and SneadSnot are no better.. Does anybody read the LA times? Are the commenst posted there for al to read as well?
If so unfreakingbelievable!

God Bless Angie Brad and Family.
Thank goodness for bds such as Just Jareds where anyone at anytime can come here and read truth. You will know when its not b/c one or more members will straighten the crazies out who try to dirty the bd with their bull.

Peace

I read that the movie won more than 80 million around the world.
Congratulations!

Your idol cannot even compete with anne hataway, katherine heigl, and sarah jessica parker in romcom yet you keep on going after brad and angie.

Your idol’s only role these day is a sugar mommy for john mayer

it is great that she is doing great at boxoffice

#634, jaye

I thought i was alone thinking this way about Will. I used to like him very much, saw all his early movies. But his ego has gotten so big, it is nauseating listening to him. So i have stopped. Recently he said that he cannot be a politician, because politicians dont have 100% approval ratings, insinuating that he has. His personality has become very unattractive to me. This is another reason i admire Brad and Angie so much. Their humility is so admirable.

I will see Wanted this week, as I have a few days off. I cant wait.
