Napoleon Dynamite Squeaks in at Number 29. Friggin Sweet.

Okay, yeah.. 29 – not a pretty impressive number if you’re looking in so far as “the top three” go, but much more impressive if you’re counting how many 12 ounce steaks you can eat in one sitting. ..what?.. I think my point was “It’s all about perspective”. But my analogy sucked. Anyhow…

This past weekend, while the huge top 5 Blockbuster movies were being blared from 16,000 of the largest screens on the planet, raking in more money per hour than I’ll ever be worth in my life, and taking in an average of 7,500 dollars per screen, Napoleon Dynamite quietly slipped onto only 6 screens nation wide. SIX. That’s it. However – here’s the magic kids: Mr. Nap managed to pull in $116,666 dollars… or an average of 19,444 dollars PER SCREEN. — That’s nearly triple the attendance of the big boys. Not too bad for a guy that would only last about 3 or 4 minutes in prison.

Kinda like me.

Never Mind.

  11. this is the best movie EVER!! What i really want to now is how did they come up with the “tots” in the pocket? I think his run is the funniest thing ever! Napoleon is hilarious, but to add to the fun, pedro, the girl(i forgot her name), uncle rico, and of course the 2 soul mates (the brother and la fawnda) r laugh out loud funny.

  12. i love this movie!!!!!!!! napolian is sooooo cool! “uuuuuhhhhh,” lol! hahaha! i laughed so hard. *get’s hit in the head w/ a steak* :) it has the funniest lines in the world to repeat! lol! “what ever i want to.. gosh!” lol! “i see you’re drinking 1% milk. is that cause you think you’re fat?” lol! everyone should go see this movie!!!

  13. Napoleon is the coolest! “Can you just bring me my chapstick? ….But my lips hurt real bad!” or “Grandma just called and she said you can go home because she doesn’t want you here. You’re ruining everyone’s lives and eating all her steak!”

  14. this movie is one of my all time favorites!although it wasnt a huge favorite among MOST people, i absolutely love NaPoLeOn! it is friggin awesome. I want to be this kid’s best friend!! I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! VOTE FOR PEDRO—cause he has a mustache!!

  15. omg this movie was the flippin coolest funniest best movies of all time! its fun throughout the whole thing, i was crying cuz i was laughing so hard. its totally hysterical!

    “whatever i want to, GOSH!”

  16. Man, Napoleon is sweet. He’s my gosh darn IDLE!!!! I flippin’ wish I was him…plus his friend is like the only kid in school who has a mustache. I wish I saw this movie when it came out…IDIOT

  17. wow this movie was flippin’ awesome, HECK YES! i would pay to see this movie 50 or more times. It was so hilarious i’m just sorry it took me so long to go see it. Napoleon is the hottest dork ever- i was laughin throughout the whole movie. If you haven’t yet, you have to see this movie.
    K BYE

  18. It’s not just having the great pick-up lines, dude can dance. And apparently successfully hunt wolverines in Alaska. All I can do is spell, not fair

  19. Delicious bass. Delicious.

    Full quote was “I caught you a delicious bass.” [drops paper wrapped package which we assume to be said bass at girl’s feet]”Want to play me?” [at which point they commence playing tetherball]

  20. Just saw this today. What a funny funny funny movie. I howled all the way through. And generally pretty clean too. Proving once again that comedy doesn’t have to include knobs and wankle rotary engines to make it funny.
    And it quite possibly has one of the single greatest pick-up lines EVER! And I can’t remember the exact words for the life of me. Something along the lines of, ‘I caught you a tasty bass’. It’s brilliant. It’s got this sort of Wes Anderson feel to it sometimes. More in line with Bottle Rocket than the others. But if it’s playing near you, you gotta see it. Gold!!!
