FILM: Box Office Results- 2/08/08




World order has been reset and an actual movie is at #1 in the box office. Alas, it is Fool's Gold, but a movie nonetheless. I guess the ladies were pretty keen on seeing Matthew McConaughey shirtless--$22 mil worth of ab exercises. Martin Lawrence's Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins faired pretty well at #2 with $17 mil. Whereas The Hottie & The Nottie didn't even place in the top 10 and only managed $25,000 in total from the 111 theaters it was released in. Anybody surprised? Anybody? Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show managed to pull in a few more viewers. With a little less than a thousand theaters, it grossed half a million dollars. In Bruges, Colin Farrell's official comeback, managed to gross $470,000 with just 28 theaters. Most of the critics were praising it, saying like James Greenberg from the Hollywood Reporter that, "Just when you think you've seen every possible variation on the hit-man genre, Irish playwright Martin McDonagh in his feature debut has fashioned an audacious combination of Old World grace and modern ultraviolence."

Hannah Montana's concert is still in the top 10 at #3, reaching $53 mil. Jessica Alba's intro into horror, The Eye, dropped two spots to #4 with $21 mil. And in its 10th week in the box office, Juno has reached $117 mil at #5. Here's the bottom half of the top 10:
6. 27 Dresses: $65
7. The Bucket List: $75
8. Rambo: $36
9. Meet the Spartans: $33
10. There Will Be Blood: $26
Untraceable is already out of the top 10 in its third week with $24 mil and Cloverfield bails out in its fourth week with $75 mil.

Next week, Valentine's Day hits us hard. On the blessed day Jumper and The Spiderwick Chronicles debut, and on Friday the romantic dramedy Definitely, Maybe and the dance sequel Step Up 2 the Streets hit theaters. So many to choose from...so little money.
