Box Office Roundup - 11/11

Thank you, American movie goers. In honor of Veteran's Day, we rallied together as a Country and honored our Uniformed Heroes by not allowing Jack And Jill to take the weekend crown.

The Top
Immortals, which is a movie that is not actually 300, took the top spot this weekend with a strong opening of $32 million. Immortals was released by Relativity Media and lacked the major marketing push that 300 had. And it showed. 300 opened to $71 million, which, if you’re keeping score at home, is more than $32 million.

The movie stars Henry Cavill, who is playing Superman in the next Superman movie, which is directed by Zack Snyder, who directed 300, which Immortals looks a lot like. That was fun.

Immortals was directed by Tarsem, who also saw a number one opening in 2000 when The Cell opened with $17.5 million. It’s only his third feature. His second one, The Fall, never got a wide release, which is a shame because it is a phenominal movie.

The movie is another success for the Mickey Rourke comeback run. Its $32 million is a little more than the $29 million Sin City opened with to kickoff his career resurgence in 2005, but is less than what Iron Man 2 ($128 million) and The Expendables($34.8 million) opened to last year.

Immortals also stars Freida Pinto. There’s no need to compare this to her past movies, let’s instead all just take a second to think about how ridiculously beautiful she is.

The Rest
Jack And Jill didn’t open in first place, but it wasn’t all good news as it still earned $26 million to take second place. It’s on the lower end for an Adam Sandler comedy, but that’s still too much.

Jack And Jill looked like one of the movies too stupid to be real that his character in Judd Apatow’s Funny People would star in. Sadly, Funny People opened with less at $22.6 million, and it’s actually one of only two Sandler comedies to open with less than Jack And Jill since late 1998. Little Nicky was the other one when it opened with $16 million in 2000.

The lead actor playing twins isn’t always a bad thing, as Nicolas Cage proved in 2002 with the amazing Adaptation. Depressingly though, that movie only earned $22 million during its entire theatrical run, which is less than Jack And Jill opened with.

It also opened with more than the entire theatrical runs of Punch Drunk Love ($17.8 million) and Reign Over Me ($19.6 million), two great movies where Adam Sandler actually tried to act and did it well.

Puss In Boots continues to hold strong despite a slow opening weekend, as it only saw a 23% dropoff in its third weekend to come in third with $25.5 million. It also showed that I really only have two weeks worth of vagina jokes before I have to start thinking about them.
Tower Heist fell 45% in its second weekend to land in fourth with $13.2 million. It sits at $43.9 million after 10 days, but seems likely to fade quickly and likely won’t reach its $75 million budget.

The powerful combination of Leonardo DiCaprio and Clint Eastwood didn’t make much of a dent as J. Edgar cross dressed its way to fifth place with $11.4 million.




That much star power seems like it would make more of an impression, but its actually right on par with where Eastwood is as a director. Since 2003, his movies have generally made between $8-13 million upon opening wide, with the exception of Gran Torino’s $29 million in 2008.

A Very Harold Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas plummeted 55% to $5.9 million in its second weekend for sixth place. It’s fading fast, but has already exceeded it’s $19 million budget as it sits at $23 million after 10 days.

In Time pushed its total earnings to over $30 million by adding on another $4 million for seventh. It may not quite reach its $40 million budget, but it’ll come close.

Paranormal Activity 3 surpassed the $100 million milestone as it added another $3.6 million to round out the Top 8.

The Worst
Melancholia earned $265,000 while opening on 19 screens. Those aren’t bad numbers at all, but this movie is really, really bad.

Next

Shit gets real next weekend as Happy Feet 2 and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part One both look to fight the current batch of releases for that top spot. It’s gonna be the age-old battle of Families vs. Horny Teenage Girls.

Speaking of Twilight, check back here at RandomStain.com on Wednesday of this week when we release the first part of our new animated trilogy, The GuyLight Saga Presents: New Poon.
