Year One bomba. No surprise given what Land of the Lost did with bigger star power.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Wow, The Proposal did great!

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Looks like someone needs to upgrade to Premier Pass

Oh and Year One is NOT a bomba considering it's budget
Oh and yes, The Proposal already made it's freaking money :/
OH AND NICE, HANGOVER is making some RAD cash!

Poor Sony. Getting it's ass kicked in every department.

 

[Superman00]

Man, the drop from week to week for the Hangover is crazy. It's gonna hit $200M+ easily.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

Whatever Works has a nice screen opening but it is of course all the east coasters watching it that push the opening weeks of all Woody Allen films. It doesn't come out to where I live until July I believe. Suckage. I wonder when Away We Go opens in Kansas?

 

[gdt]

The Hangover is INSANE. Todd Phillips is gonna have alot of options soon.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

On another note, I will probably go see the Proposal once it hits budget theaters. State of Play, Sunshine Cleaning, and Knowing is playing there now. I might see one of those tonight and then plow through my library movies.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

UP FTMFW

 

[The Librarian]

Go Up!

 

[shintoki]

Happy to see a comedy do good that isn't "Apatow Crew" or "Tyler Perry Presents!" shit. Hangover is going to roll over the hell over 200mil :lol

Hopefully Year One drops 70% next year >_>

Also glad to See Up performing so well, Its well deserved because I love it! :lol

 

[BorkBork]

UP's already passed Wall-E in domestic gross. Wow.

 

[Guled]

Nice seeing Up do so well

 

[Concept17]

Is UP still tracking on par with Finding Nemo?

 

[Chamber]

Just saw The Hangover this weekend. Great movie.

 

[-COOLIO-]

Up and Star Trek are so awesome :]

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

i cant believe angels and demons made 110+ million. that movie was fucking garbage.

 

[Darklord]

Wow, Up is still going strong. Why is it going to well compared to the last 2 pixar movies? I'd have thought they had more appeal to kids than this would.

When the hell is Star Trek on DVD? It feels like it's been at the movies forever.

 

[Solo]

The Hangover is a beast. Lovely drops! Trek is still going strong. It will hit $250M.

 

[typhonsentra]

Hangover's now officially significantly outpacing Wedding Crasher's pace after this insanely low drop this week (26 million third week vs. 20 million), and it started with a lot more money too. It's assuredly going to be the top R-Rated comedy domestically now, this has got to be a good time to be those guys.

And Up looks like it could even top Star Trek as the top 2009 movie all-around by next weekend, good stuff all around.

 

[G-Fex]

Helm set course for 250+ Million dollars, maximum warp, punch it.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

And Up looks like it could even top Star Trek as the top 2009 movie all-around by next weekend, good stuff all around.

Much deserved, indeed.


WHERE IS MY FUCKING MERCHANDISE BONANZA, DISNEY?

 

[Bananakin]

Good movies are doing well at the box office, what the hell's going on here guys?

 

[element]

That won't last long as Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince comes out soon.

 

[Solo]

That won't last long as Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince comes out soon.

Transformers, you mean? HP will do well, but TF2 will do better.

 

[Wilsongt]

I saw The Proposal this weekend because I love Sandra Bullock and would totally go bisexual for her. I thought it was a good movie. Having Betty White in it made it that much better.

 

[Wilsongt]

That won't last long as Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince comes out soon.

Don't forget that piece of shit New Moon comes out this year, also.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

I hope Ed Helms is still going to be in the Office. I guess Steve Carrell was in a couple of box office successes so I wouldn't see why he wouldn't be though.

 

[element]

Transformers, you mean? HP will do well, but TF2 will do better.

Both have $300m potential.

Don't forget that piece of shit New Moon comes out this year, also.

Twilight didn't break $200m domestically. It will be more of a media blitz then a box office smash.

 

[WrathOfOtaibah]

Good movies are doing well at the box office, what the hell's going on here guys?

Well, Transformers 2 is coming soon so we'll see how that holds up.

 

[rexor0717]

What was Star Trek's budget? It seems to still be doing well.

 

[Darklord]

What was Star Trek's budget? It seems to still be doing well.

$150m. It says on the chart.

 

[BorkBork]

I think after the summer is over:

1.) Transformers
2.) Harry Potter
3.) UP (just edged out)
4.) Star Trek

In domestic BO gross.

 

[Femmeworth]

Hopefully Up can still make decent money this week.

5) The Hangover

 

[DrForester]

"Up" Passes "Monsters Vs. Aliens", all is right with the world.



Star Trek =

 

[Kunan]

Transformers will win domestic but Harry Potter will win worldwide by about 100 mill. I'm waiting to see what kind of intense numbers the autobots can pull in for their sophomore debut.

 

[~Kinggi~]

It's retarded how successful Pixar is. The day will come when they fail and it will suck.

 

[Kunan]

It's retarded how successful Pixar is. The day will come when they fail and it will suck.

It will take multiple duds in a row to even begin to combat their name's immense appeal.

 

[G-Fex]

It's retarded how successful Pixar is. The day will come when they fail and it will suck.

They're highly regarded around here and almost overrated. But when compared to other cgi crap movies like say ice age I don't mind pixar movies as they don't follow the formula of pop culture references and 80's/90's songs recycled.

 

[BorkBork]

Transformers will win domestic but Harry Potter will win worldwide by about 100 mill. I'm waiting to see what kind of intense numbers the autobots can pull in for their sophomore debut.

No doubt. I can't believe OOTP pulled in almost A BILLION DOLLARS. That's just ridiculous. Also, I am sad that the best HP movie had the lowest gross.

 

[~Kinggi~]

It will take multiple duds in a row to even begin to combat their name's immense appeal.

Im more talking about their perfect streak of every movie they have made has won me over with more great qualities than bad.

Im sure financially they will do well but they are right now one of the most successful creative entities on the planet.

 

[AlphaSnake]

The Hangover is WELL on its way to toppling Wedding Crashers' $209M. That is amazing.

 

[Kunan]

No doubt. I can't believe OOTP pulled in almost A BILLION DOLLARS. That's just ridiculous. Also, I am sad that the best HP movie had the lowest gross.

Which makes the girls at work's comments that Twilight is the new Harry Potter all the more ridiculous. Just does not have anywhere near the same appeal across different demographics.

 

[ZeoVGM]

When the hell is Star Trek on DVD? It feels like it's been at the movies forever.

It's less than two months after being released, still #7 on the top 10 movies, and you think a DVD release should be coming soon?

 

[Son of Godzilla]

:lol @ Away We Go. Forget Year One, there's a true bomb.

 

[DrForester]

:lol @ Away We Go. Forget Year One, there's a true bomb.

it's only in 132 theaters. It's #4 this week in per-screen gross.

 

[BorkBork]

Which makes the girls at work's comments that Twilight is the new Harry Potter all the more ridiculous. Just does not have anywhere near the same appeal across different demographics.

You need to stay far far away from those girls. Lest they sinking their banshee claws into you.

 

[B.K.]

I'm glad Year One didn't do better than it did. It looked terrible. I can't believe it made as much as it did. I was hoping for a Dragonball level bomb. :lol

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

:lol @ Away We Go. Forget Year One, there's a true bomb.

You're clearly not familiar with "indie" films.
