Wow. So RE5 is kind of a bomb? It's an "international" kind of movie. Won't do much here, but overseas they still make some bank. Enough where there most likely will be a 6th movie, which W.S. Anderson said that it'll prob. be the finale of the series. Which he was saying since the 3rd.

Wow, the past 3 weeks have seen one movie added to the Box Office Mojo chart for "WORST OPENING WEEKEND PER-THEATER AVERAGES Wide Releases Only (600+ Theaters) 1982–Present": 155 Last Ounce of Courage RM $1,214 1,407 $1,708,000 $1,708,000 9/14/12 153 The Cold Light of Day Sum. $1,212 1,511 $1,831,588 $3,272,000 9/7/12 2 Oogieloves In The BIG Balloon Adventure KVP $206 2,160 $443,901 $1,061,572 8/29/12 I'm personally surprised to see a lot of the movies that are on the list, I wasn't aware Critters would be listed among the biggest bombs in cinema history. EDIT: Oh, I see. The presence of Critters is something of an error. It expanded into 600+ theaters in its fifth week, playing in around 550 theaters in the weeks prior. They should remove it from the list because for all but like 50 theaters that wasn't its opening weekend.

This week should be interesting. 3 movies, 3 different age brackets.
-House at the End of the Street for the teenagers, typical horror junkies, and some Hunger Games fans (they are marketing the movie as featuring "The Hunger Games's Jennifer Lawrence; HATES has been completed for a while now, and are pretty much releasing it due to the success of THG)
-Dredd 3D for the 18-34 old male market. It's actually gotten some pretty damn good reviews though for an action movie that is a pretty hard R and a pseudo-"remake" of the 1995 movie starring Sylvester Stallone that either is loved or hated. At least I'm hearing they do the source material RIGHT (and I love the '95 Dredd just because it's stupid fun)
-Trouble with the Curve for the parentals and the older folk. I'll probably see this once it hits DVD because it has Clint Eastwood and it involves baseball. To me, that's a winner.
I see HATES squeaking it out behind TwtC for the win this week. Sadly, Dredd 3D will probably be in the middle of the pack.
EDIT: And I completely forgot about End of Watch as well, which may take away some of Dredd's numbers in that bracket.

I think End of Watch & Dredd will be #1 & #2 respectively.

I hope End of Watch finishes at the bottom of the heap, the film style and campaign have annoyed the hell out of me.

Whoa, I thought Dredd was already out? damn, well Dredd 2D and 3D only has 2 showing each tomorrow at my local Carmike. I don't ever pay attention to amount of showings a movie has but not much faith in it being #1 around here...

Weekend Forecast (September 21-23) 1. Trouble with the Curve - $18.7 million 2. House at the End of the Street - $14.5 million 3. End of Watch - $13.3 million 4. Dredd - $12.6 million 5. Finding Nemo 3D - $9.5 million (-43%) 6. Resident Evil 5 - $8.2 million (-61%) 7. The Master - $4.2 million Makes sense End of Watch and Dredd are predicted at those places. They WILL cannibalize each other.

Dredd - $2.2 million Resident Evil: Retribution is at #6 with $1.9 million. Believe the biggest drop I've seen in some time. Surprised at the numbers. I'm assuming that most people seeing House are basically people who are willing to see Jennifer Lawrence in anything, no matter what film it is (And yes, I'll include me here, too.)?

WE HAVE A TIE! For the first time since February of last year where Unknown and Gnomeo and Juliet tied it up. Unknown would come out as the #1 film of that weekend.
The closest weekend between the top two films on record is March 12-14, 1993 where CB4 and Fire in the Sky were the top two films respectively by only $5,500.
T1 N End of Watch ORF $13,000,000 - 2,730 - $4,762 $13,000,000 $7 1 T1 N House at the End of The Street Rela. $13,000,000 - 3,083 - $4,217 $13,000,000 $10 1 3 N Trouble with the Curve WB $12,720,000 - 3,212 - $3,960 $12,720,000 - 1 4 2 Finding Nemo (3D) BV $9,446,000 -43.4% 2,904 - $3,253 $29,979,000 - 2 5 1 Resident Evil: Retribution SGem $6,700,000 -68.2% 3,016 +4 $2,221 $33,468,000 $65 2 6 N Dredd LGF $6,300,000 - 2,506 - $2,514 $6,300,000 $50 1

That's gotta be hugely disappointing for Dredd, right?

Those box office returns are simply just.... /takes off glasses/ Dreddful. (In fairness, I'm wanting to see the film, but I just felt like making the pun.)

I think even Judge Dredd in 95 did better, with 12 million at number 5, and it had some heavy hitters as well (Apollo 13 and the MMPR movie......It was a big movie to me!, debuted the same week at 1 & 4, along with Batman Forever and Pocahontas still in theaters at 2 & 3.)

So a movie I have NEVER even heard of did better in only 300 theaters than a movie trying to be Oscar bait so bad, it did meh in 2,500 theaters?
I'm confused.

Hurray for Looper. Almost made back its budget from the domestic gross alone.
It's a good film, so seeing it do well is good news.
