Box-Office Wrap-Up: Jun. 6 - Jun. 8, 2008

Panda rocked the party that rocked the body this weekend.

You don't mess with the Panda, that's the takeaway lesson here. Jack Black is the new king of comedy which means he'll start starring in terrible movies within the next six months.
#1 movie predicted correctly: 7 Weeks In A Row
Hmmm, I ended up low with my lofty prediction. Still, I'm pleased.
Result: 60.0 million (My rank: #1, $4.2m off)
Ha! Okay, okay, admittedly Zohan beat the hell out of me. But it still finished $20m behind Panda so it didn't exactly dominate. I look for a monster decline next weekend once word of mouth breaks.
Result: 40.0 million (My rank: #2, $12.6m off)
This prediction was perfect - it was the SatC that got me.
Result: 22.8 million (My rank: #4, $.5m off)
Wow. Now that's a drop! This proves that the ladies don't wait for anything, eh?
Result: 21.3 million (My rank: #3, $5.3m off)
Rumor is that this isn't very good. Then again, you shouldn't be spreading rumors.
Result: 9.2 million (My rank: #5, $1.1m off)
Yes, that is a dead on Oracle prediction. Man, I am really getting good at this.
Result: 7.5 million (My rank: #6, $0m off)
It's easier on these lower dollar amounts though. You can really only be off by so much.
Result: 5.5 million (My rank: #7, $0.2m off)
Random thought: Why do shows break for the summer now? With the advent of TiVo and viewing online people want entertainment 12 months a year. Give it to them!
Result: 3.7 million (My rank: #8, $0.5m off)
.779 million is not much money for a movie to make. Sure, it's .778 million more than I have, but it's still not very much.
Result: 0.779 million (My rank: #9, $0.321m off)
Whoa. What are you doing here? How did you get here? Are you even still out??
Result: 0.775 million (My rank: Not Ranked)

I find it incredibly interesting that these box office totals range from $60 million to less than $1 million. That's a huge range. Wonder what that says about our movie-going choices...?
