Box office round up
I think the Predator ship may have sailed. As an IP I’m not sure it has the clout it once did, and it definitely doesn’t have the clout to make people show up to a bad movie with a cloud of controversy over it. That was reflected in the $25 million box office forThe Predator,which is the lowest box office ever for a movie opening in more than 4,000 theaters. It beat (?)The Mummy, which previously held the not-so-desired record. More like Preda…suck… or Preda… tank…
You know what, one of you clever pun people come up with something for me here.
While Fox is crying over that one WB isn’t too happy either, withThe Nundipping a whopping 66 percent from last weekend, a franchise worst. Of course, the movie still raked in the cash its first weekend and will overall be a third success for the studio this month, who has dominated August and September withThe MegandCrazy Rich Asians.
This was also the first weekend of the true doldrums. WhileA Simple Favoris actually really enjoyable, it only opened at number three (being R-rated doesn’t help), and there’s just nothing that exciting hitting until we start getting Oscar bait. Unlessyou like turds rolling in the wind, of course.
