So was The Babysitters Club

Sssh, don't give them any ideas.Meh weekend for sure, but hey it could be worse.I have a funny feeling that's going to be the box-office theme this whole year..."hey, could be worse, could be 2011...".

The Indian in the Cupboard-popular book with kids, the movie BOMBED.

[Noctis]

I love that book...and I remember watching the film in fourth grade...memories.

[lab276]

I remember hating the film.

[Impact]

I never saw the film-but compared to how popular the book was it is a suprise it bombed so hard.

[fishstick]

TLB was super popular and it bombed too. Some best-sellers don`t translate into boxoffice.

I remember whenever Kal brought up a video game sale argument I would say "If VG's counted towards the box office, Super Mario Brothers would of broken the OW record"

[Noctis]

Impact, it did $35m nearly two decades ago. That isn't bad.

[Mojoguy]

Well no football this week. (Though I have noticed the 2 teams this year are not who people wanted. They wanted Broncos and the 49ers. Or maybe thats just the place where I live)

Pro Bowl this Sunday, but no one cares about the Pro Bowl.

[Impact]

Noctis, it was a bomb when it was released. And I saw it on its OW....it was offensive to all of us Mario fans...

[fishstick]

Just read the movie synopsis on Wiki. Wow, what turd! You have my condolences, Impact. I`m sure that you were never the same again after seeing it OW.

[Impact]

They turned it into a dark film that was not that great.

[Magic]

eh

Open Road Films is estimating that THE GREY will bite off $5 million today, possibly a bit more, as it looks primed to hunt down the #1 spot this weekend.

[lab276]

Anything on the holdovers?

Jesus, must they always report the boxoffice with some lame wordplay? The Grey "bites off" and "hunts down" cause it has wolves, aren`t we smart? Last week, UW also "bit off" or "bit into" and "staked" because it has vamps, how clever aren`t we? Etc. Fuckin Zzzzzzzzzzz.

[Impact]

Oh yeah this is the numbers thread Well I do remember when Fast Five came out, AA (where is he? Has he found..oh yeah he is a mod...) had a very intresting convo about Batman and Robin!

[BK007]

At least the Grey is good supposedly so fine with it doing well, but really, OFTM makes 12m? Jeez.Terribly edited trailer and when it looks even worse than Heigl's normal crap, it has to be bad. Good movies better do well this year because this putrid January overperformance doesn't really get me excited.

[grey ghost]

Red Tails OW beat the Grey's....HAHAHAHA!
