Weekend Box Office #117

Not a whole lot this weekend. Still a zillion movies in theaters from the holidays.

Opening wide:

BRIDE WARS (3226 theaters). The Kate Hudson/Anne Hathaway combo and the promise of laughs will help bring in a female audience, though the reviews I have seen haven't been great. $15.2 million.

THE UNBORN (2356 theaters). A spooky commercial is undercut by the fact that this is PG-13, while reviews for this haven't been very excited either. $6.1 million.

NOT EASILY BROKEN (724 theaters). I've seen a lot of commercials for this around Los Angeles, but it's not a very wide release. $2.1 million.

GRAN TORINO goes from 84 theaters to 2808. It should do about $14 million.

Scott,

Up here in Timbucktwo, er... I mean Bonney Lake, Timbucktwo, I read a Seattle Times review of "The Wresler," AND a very interesting Q&A (not T&A) with Mikey Rourke. That was kinda interesting. Sounds like the Rourker is determinted to make the most of his upteenth millionth comeback this time. Sooo we should be seeing more of Rourker on the silver screen in the months ahead, whether we like it or not!

HUGE fan of the rom-com genre. Ditto that for Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway, but my spidey-sense is tingling. Not going to tell you where this spidey-sensor is on my body but it warns me that "Bride Wars" isn't going to be very good. And that's too bad, because I could use a good laugh from a well done romantic comedy right now.

Saw the Wrestler - Wow! Rourke was stunning. He had a tough character to play, too, and he blew me away. The film itself was quite an achievement.

Bride Wars was sold out all night at the theater I went to, and Marley & Me still had a huge line.

Yeah, my estimates are all low. Gran Torino, Unborn and Bride Wars each did 8-9 million on Friday alone.

Gran Torino was such a piece of shit.
