Wow. Apparently the big green guy and the planet’s imminent destruction just combined to set an all time weekend box office record. Shrek remains at #1 with $92 million over the four day weekend to push it’s total take to just a hair less than $257 mil in less than two weeks of release. That’s an insane amount of money. Shrek’s take dropped only 13% from last week which is pretty much nothing … big films routinely drop 30-40% after the first week even if reviews and word of mouth are positive. The Day After Tomorrow, meanwhile, pulled in an impressive $86 mil which means the two top films alone pulled in $178 million in the US alone. Madness, I say.
Meanwhile in the world of small, anti-coporate film making Super Size Me is still holding strong to the #10 spot with the film spreading onto another 49 screens. Not much by Shrek standards but mighty impressive for a little documentary by an unknown film maker.
Hi dave (big bald) here.
First to all Imagine ‘Dat! users our site was down over the weekend- sorry. This means my email was too.
The appropriate parties have been sacked.
Reviews of Shrek 2 and Supersize me can both be found at http://www.imaginedat.net and surprisingly I think the two films have a lot in common thematically.
Read little ones read and post here on the movie blog like there’s no day after tommorow ( which is also reviewed on the site.
