Weekend Box Office #109
So I've been guilty of blog avoidance this past week. Apologies.
But I have been writing a lot, so there's that.
I still haven't been inside a movie theater in about 4 months. Maybe this weekend. Since, you know, it is the business I'm in.
Opening this weekend:
MADAGASCAR 2 (4056 theaters). I didn;t see the first one, but I guess the kids will come out for it, and it is a ton of theaters. $29.8 million for the weekend.
ROLE MODELS (2791 theaters). This is actually supposed to be funny, though it's also rated R, which is odd (and likely problematic box office wise) for a comedy with kids in it. $10.8 million.
SOUL MEN (2044 theaters). I actually gave notes on this, though I have no idea if or how they were implemented. $13.7 million.
********
Last weekend, ZACK AND MIRI only made $10 million; not bad, but not as well as I thought it might. It trailed HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3, but during the week it was finishing as top film each day.
CHANGELING did $9.4 million, and THE HAUNTING OF MOLLY HARTLEY did $5.4 million. ROCKNROLLA did $1.9 million.

I think Role Models will surprise. Say $16k.
Next weekend JCVD will be available in a few theaters in LA. I just wanted to make sure you had time to prepare.
I hear it rawks.
Glad to hear you're making some progress on the writing front.
Isn't "Frost/Nixon" opening this weekend? The preview I saw of it was AWESOMEE. For what this show is, the preview I saw TOTALLY hooked me.
"Role Models" looks like it's going to be funny.

What is JCVD?
New Jean Claude Van Damme movie, where he plays a version of himself the actor.
Somehow, someway, apparently it works.
