Box Office Round-Up: Half-Assed Edition
Posted: 2006-06-14 12:24am
I'm tired, so excuse me if it's not full of spectacular wit and comedy. But someone's got to do it.
1) Cars
Weekend Gross: $60,119,509
Percent Change: N/A
Theater Count: 3,985
Average: $15,086
Total Gross: $60,119,509
Budget: N/A
Week: 1
A Disney/Pixar film opening at first place? No suprise there.
2) The Break Up
Weekend Gross: $20,325,790
Percent Change: -48.1%
Theater Count:3,075 (+5)
Average: $6,610
Total Gross: $73,926,040
Budget: $52 million
Week: 2
I've seen nothing but favorable reviews for this romantic comedy, and it broke even on the first week. Whoever green-lit this picture is no doubt giving themselves a raise.
3) X-Men: The Last Stand
Weekend Gross: $16,078,578
Percent Change: -52.7%
Theater Count: 3,680 (-34)
Average: $4,369
Total Gross: $202,244,652
Budget: $210 million
Week: 3
Not a bad weekend gross, but with a sensationally bloated budget, it'll take an uncanny next few weeks to turn a profit that the executives will find amazing.
4) The Omen (2006)
Weekend Gross: $16,026,496
Percent Change: N/A
Theater Count: 2,723
Average: $5,885
Total Gross: $36,301,837
Budget: $25 million
Week: 1
You see that profit? It's all for you, Damien! Opening on Tuesday means this film had some extra time to net total gross, and again, a reasonable budget means that it will turn a very healthy profit. Take a page from the Antichrist, you muties.
5) The Da Vinci Code
Weekend Gross: $10,443,347
Percent Change: -43.9%
Theater Count: 3,319 (-438)
Average: $3,146
Total Gross: $189,171,331
Budget: $125 million
Week: 4
We've had a couple threads talking about this movie already. What's left to be said?
It's a sad existance to be Tom Hanks hair.
6) Over the Hedge
Weekend Gross: $10,221,499
Percent Change: -50.5%
Theater Count: 3,527 (-466)
Average: $2,898
Total Gross: $130,213,521
Budget: N/A
Week: 4
I'm suprised this film is still so high on the list. With no budget information, though, we've no idea how successful it's really been. Moving on...
7) A Prairie Home Companion
Weekend Gross: $4,566,293
Percent Change: N/A
Theater Count: 760
Average: $6,008
Total Gross: $4,566,293
Budget: N/A
Week: 1
Just LOOK at that screen average! It's the forth highest on the entire list!
This film has been getting a LOT of advertising for the number of screens it's on, so I assume they're planning on increasing the theater count in the coming weeks. It's been getting great reviews, so here's hoping it comes out in the green.
Mission: Impossible III
Weekend Gross: $3,020,816
Percent Change: -35.5%
Theater Count: 1,908 (-759)
Total Gross: $127,491,115
Budget: $150
Week: 6
Ahahahahahahaha, Tom Cruise! Where's your precious Scientologist powers to save you now? I'd love to see MI3 stop circulation entirely without turning a profit, and my wish might just come true.
9) RV
Weekend Gross: $1,910,564
Percent Change: -40.4%
Theater Count: 1,622 (-559)
Average: $1,177
Total Gross: $64,921,678
Budget: $50
Week: 7
Meh.
10) Poseidon
Weekend Gross: $1,833,493
Percent Change: -47.5%
Theater Count: 1,724 (-996)
Average: $1,063
Total Gross: $54,928,443
Budget: $160
Week: 5
Biggest flop this year? Probably.
BONUS:
11) An Inconvenient Truth
Weekend Gross: $1,504,701
Percent Change: +10.9%
Theater Count: 122 (+45)
Average: $12,333
Total Gross: $3,983,071
Budget: N/A
Week: 3
Boasting the second biggest per-screen average of all films currently in theaters- apparently, Al Gore and global warming combined congeal into an informative (non-boring?) film.
HUH:
13) The Shaggy Dog
Weekend Gross: $832,370
Percent Change: +440.5%
Theater Count: 308 (+77)
Average: $2,702
Total Gross: $59,196,711
Budget: N/A
Week: 14
Can someone please explain to me what the almighty fuck is going on?
