1. MIAMI VICE UNIVERSAL 3,050 8,666,700 2,842 n/a 8,666,700
2. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST BVI 3,834 5,877,000 1,533 -42% 343,731,000
3. JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE 20TH CENTURY FOX 2,560 5,819,000 2,273 n/a 5,819,000
4. MONSTER HOUSE SONY 3,553 3,680,000 1,036 -51% 36,097,000
5. ANT BULLY WARNER BROS. 3,021 3,025,000 1,001 n/a 3,025,000
6. LADY IN THE WATER WARNER BROS. 3,235 2,200,000 680 -68% 27,244,000
7. YOU, ME AND DUPREE UNIVERSAL 2,850 2,190,000 768 -45% 54,198,000
8. LITTLE MAN SONY 2,175 1,496,000 688 -54% 46,527,000
9. DEVIL WEARS PRADA, THE 20TH CENTURY FOX 1,778 1,482,000 834 -31% 103,353,000
10. CLERKS II MGM 2,150 1,260,000 586 -69% 15,795,000

Ouch at the decline for Clerks 2. An even bigger ouch for The Ant Bully and Lady in the Water's drop -- WB is really taking it up the ass this summer.

Miami Vice finally dethroned Pirates at the top, but with that opening, its chances of making back its massive budget are virtually nonexistent.

Proud to be oart of that $8.66M!

Mann films dont ever open that big anyways. The R rating hurts too, cutting down the potential viwership drastically. If it breaks $100M domestically, it'll be alright. Collateral just barely crossed the line.

Maybe if it didn't cost at least $135 million (and that's going by the dubiously conservative official figure).

Miami Vice only disappoints if youre looking for a film about gun porn or a replicant of the 80s show.
You seem to be in the wrong thread.

Just checked Box Office Mojo. Collateral made $24,701,458 opening weekend, for comparison. However, I think it also had a substancially smaller budget.

Clerks 2 - @ $15 million, has trippled its production budget. Nice.
 
I'm slightly curious about Jonh Tucker Must Die, simply because that girl from the American Pie Band Camp movie is in it, and was the only good thing about that movie. So hot.

Miami Vice was a boring movie. I was so ****ing bored during most of the movie, till the last 15 minutes.

There were many pointless scenes in the movie that should have been taken out. The story was stupid, and I didn't understand a single thing the characters said in the first ten minutes. And the characters sucked. The movie was too long. 2 hours???? It easily could have been better at an hour and a half.

At one point I thought I was watching a softcore movie. Also, did we realy need to see 2 shower scenes?? And who gets an orgasim after 30 seconds???

The movie was repetitive and dull. The only good thing about the movie is the cinematography. The landscapes were beautiful.

Dan

No longer boycotting the Wolfenstein franchise
Cars finally got knocked out of the top 10.

C'mon people, after you see whatever else you're into, give Lady in the Water a chance.

I'll catch Miami Vice during the week. I should finally be able to check out A Scanner Darkly as well.

First off, everything else you said, take the opposite, and thats how I felt.

Second, landscapes =/= cinematography.

...so, basically, it was your ignorance that made you dislike the movie?

Do we get to see Gong Li breastesses?! If so, why are you ****ing complaining!?
 
master_shake_05 said:
Nope, if my calculations are correct. The other chick has some side boob action though...

for me the other chick is hotter than Gong Li period and thats not because I am a black male (i am) but damn Naomie Harris is HOT

Maybe if they didn't release like 6 movies in one weekend there would better numbers per movie.

MV movie though.... yea that deserves to fall away....

why people keep quoting my "Nipples and Tits" tag?

I like it dunno who put it there maybe Bish, it was so long ago forgot why
Hey, at least its not "Got penis?"

That sounds like Maestro Ryan-level humor...
 
master_shake_05 said:
Tits covered in mud can only push a man so far....

I liked the shot of Naomie Harris's ass just before she got in the shower with Foxx
If that was a body double shot me cause that was a tempting booty it was better than her tit tease

Although the Miami Vice budget was ridiculous, it looks to be on target for his largest opening ever. I havent seen it yet (which kills me, since he's my favorite director), but that's cos my girlfriend isnt a big fan of the people involved, so I'll have to keep nagging her for a bit first.

Go without her, pussy! ;p

It was a body double for Tubb's girlfriend. http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/modest%20harris%20refused%20to%20strip%20for%20foxx%20shower%20scene_1003325

You get a couple very quick sideviews of Gong Li such as when the Crockett/Isabella shower bit happens, but blink and you'll miss it. Focus was primarily on the faces and emotions.

And somebody apparently missed it when Jamie Foxx said "Just kidding." :lol

thats what I wanted to say but I did not want to spoil it for SHAKE poor shake :lol

edit: respect for Naomie Harris -1 point

If you're a true Mann Fann (TM), you'll get there opening weekend!

sorry SHAKE

"Just Kidding" was a nice touch in that scene it really made Trudy/Rico's relationship stick for me without the need of a flashback or story that these two really care about each other

Miami Vice only dissapoints in the studios hopes. Mostly everyone knew it wouldn't make back it's $150. Anyway, nice to see Ant Bully bombing an insane ammount. Too bad Clerks 2 doesn't exchange box office with Dupree. Still hoping it breaks 31 million.

That was a great little moment. So few little emotional moments like that, so they really stand out. Same with Gong's tears with Sonny.

Box Office Mojo has Vice higher, at $8,750,000. Take that! Today will be its one and only day above $10M, though :(
 
The Abominable Snowman said:
Awesome. By the end of next month it should have surpassed it's production budget. (64 million)

If not, it'll definitely make that back in DVD sales.
You're referring to Little Man? Is this some kind of sick joke?

I'm just not a big fan of M. Night Shama-lama-ding-dong. Every movie he's ever done (imo) has blown.

Edit: Except 6th Sense.
