Box Office Guru Wrapup: "Pirates" #1, "Knocked Up" Strong #2

by Gitesh Pandya | June 03, 2007

Summary

Disney still claimed the most popular film in the land with "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" despite a drop that was sizable even by tentpole standards. Universal generated a stronger than expected debut for its new adult comedy "Knocked Up" which pushed its way into the runnerup spot sending Shrek the Third down to third in weekend number three.

This is crap if anyone knows anything about movies, the best wide released film of 2007 Knocked Up should be at the top. It was one of the films that both met and exceeded my expectations, unlike Spidey 3 and Shrek the Third. I think it will stay around number 2 for awhile if people aren't completely tasteless or offended. Jesus they all saw Norbit and Wild Hogs, @$^#ing retards. Pirates 3 is a scam. I haven't seen Mr. Brooks but I think it looks a hell of a lot more interesting than Shrek the Third.

Sorry, but I doubt Day Watch will be a big "snowball" hit like Little Miss Sunshine and Pan`s Labyrinth, and like Once will be. I`m afraid a 9,000 average does not dictate huge demand and the film may only receive a modest amount of theatres, none of which will be near me because my theatres suck. If it had an average of like 15k to 30k, we`d be golden.

Transformers will not beat Spider-Man 3. Not even close. Spider-Man 3 is a lot more broadly appealing, and Transformers will probably just end up being another bang-bang-boom movie with no plot or character anyhow (with Michael Bay directing it's a pretty safe bet).

I totally forgot about Harry Potter. It might take the gold.

GRD, Norbit was a boxoffice hit.

Good Lord. I had no idea. I'd heard it bad-mouthed so much, I guess I just automatically assumed it was a flop. Never assume anything, I guess.
