Great for Crash, just a bit more than what I predicted.

Great weekend for Crash. It did just what I expected.

What a drops, compared to the ones we've seen the last couple of weeks.
If KOH doesn't manage to gross 20 million this weekend, I still expect it to make 200 million international in its entire run.

Kung Fu Hustle had a great drop considering drop in TC. Just -7.24% PTA drop.

It dropped theaters for a reason though.
Expect further theater sheds next weekend because of....you know.

Horrible weekend.

who would have expected a May weekend such as this ...

oh wells

Judgement Day is near.

That's respectable for CRASH.
Hitchhiker's Guide was very much expected and Amityville Horror's drop was a long time coming; they're lucky it came this late in the run.

Everything else was okay/not too good.

Just terribly drops for the holdovers. At least for me, it's quite unexpected. I thought there would be a lot of people like box, who just finished exams and said he would go to theater for the first time in months. The top 10 total will actually drop to a new low.

House of Wax $12,205,000

Bad weekend. Hitchhiker's drop was sort of expected with the fanbase and all. This should top out with over $50m.

WOW for house of wax. Thats fucking aweso...no no its really not

I posted this in the Saturday thread.

I'm trying to locate the article online but EW has a extensive write up in this week's magazine about the state of the box office and the great white hope known as Sith.

Week ending May 1st is 2005's 10th straight drop-off in weekend box office
Year to date ticket sales are down 6%
Longest losing streak since 11 bad weekends in 2000
Third straight year that fewer people are going to the movies.

A lot is riding on Sith.

If Sith somehow fails to explode out the gate, summers might start to look different.

I should have trusted my instincts that Wax wouldn't reach 13. But all those high predictions made me cautios. Damn you all

Just checked the top 10 totals of the same weekend in previous years, and this could be lowest since 1998, when Deep Impact opened and the top 10 grossed a bit less than 70M.

Wow...House of Wax' weekend multiplier is under 2.5...

Yeah, it's gross melts like wax :razz: :razz: :razz:

There, can we all say its out of our systems for a week?

p.s - i love how everyone always "damns" other people when their predictions screw up; its like "Damn you all, i copied everyone elses predictions in hope of good accuracy and look, it bombed! Grrr, youd better have good predictions i can copy next weekend then win INSERTBOXOFFICEGAMEHERE!!!"

Sith.

Imdb says 20 million for Kingdom of Heaven and 2 million for Fever Pitch.

I heard Sith is coming May 19th.



Apple...mmmm.

The same weekend last year everything dropped 40%+ too, but I thought that it was Van Helsing that caused those drops.
Hopefully mother's day will help some movies drop lower on sunday.

KOH won't hold 20 Million once actuals come out

lol, same here - I thought the reason for these drops was Van Helsing... :razz:

I find it unlikely that the only movie projected to drop under 30% on Sunday is Kingdom of Heaven. That won't hold $20 million.
