It was nice to see that Borat trounced the Santa Clause this weekend. A rare instance where the American Public chose quality over mass-produced crapola.

Yup! Rule the roost and lay off hundreds of employees as a bonus! :D

Since "Clerks II" (rightfully) dropped by nearly 61% this weekend, I don't think it will be outgrossing anything by the end of next weekend. :D

Two things I have said about Shyamalan: 1) he needs to start directing somebody else's material and 2) he needs to try and make a film in a different type of genre (drama, comedy, etc.). Even Hitchcock ventured into other types of films once in a while.

It will play itself out within a month or so, but it has such a high mark to fall from that $300 million will be a no-brainer. Even if it drops fifty percent each weekend after this, it will still pass the first one. The real question is how many will return for part three. A lot of people...

If you were stuck with a non-actor such as Orlando Bloom, you'd be amping the real actor of the group as much as possible as well.

According to BoxOfficeGuru, Inbreds of the Caribbean made $132 Million this weekend.

The real test will be over the next few weeks as to how the film holds up. Not that there is anything like Pirates to challenge it (except, of course, SNAKES ON A PLANE!!!!!!! YEAH! :D ), but since the film is a sequel and one that opened in over 4100 theaters (and multiple screens in many of...

Just curious: how do the 3-D segments of Superman Returns work or look in your theater if its not equipped for 3-D? Your theater sounds similar to the Mugar Omni IMAX theater at the Boston Museum of Science.

Sean, Sometimes, if a film doesn't perform the way they expect, studios will change or even break the contracts they have with the theaters, at least they used to when I was managing one (keep in mind that was a long time ago). I'm a bit surprised that Superman would be on a full sked...

For me, POTC2 was reminiscent of both "Matrix: Reloaded" and "Back to the Future II". My review is up on the site I write for: http://www.musicomh.com/films2/pirat...ean-2_0606.htm I hope posting the link isn't breaking any sort of HTF rules. If so admins, please delete the link and...

I think Superman will do just fine. Warner was wise to open it nine days before Pirates, giving it a good running start. Event films such as this one these days are made for opening week at theaters anyway. Grab as much cash as you can on as many screens as you can find and do it immediately...

Yeah, Depp gives it a good go again as Sparrow, but even he's not quite as impressive in this one as he is in the first. But still, he does have his moments.

Unfortunately, yes. I was not a fan of the first one either but I was hearing that this one was better than the original. So, I went in with an open mind and, just to be on the safe side, lower expectations. Didn't do it for me. There were a few things I did admire. Obviously, the visual and...

You want to see a movie that really reeks? Check out Pirates of the Caribbean 2. I saw it Wednesday night. Visual and makeup effects aside, I thought it was a chore to sit through.

I think it'll probably top out at about $160-$175 million, a healthy amount of U.S. ticket coin but probably far below what Sony was hoping for.

Well, they don't really need to given the built-in audience for this. However, I'm pretty sure that the press has either already seen this or will be seeing it early this week. I have passes for a screening on Thursday, but I doubt that is going to be the first time the press is seeing it.

I think Valiant was also a domestic pickup for the Disney company. According to IMDB, it had opened in the UK back in March of last year.
