Box-Office Wrap-Up: May. 23 - May. 26, 2008

Guess what! Indy won the weekend!

Well, Laremy is out on a little Memorial Day vacation so I am filling in for him. I actually think it's because he ended up getting the top nine places right, but was so far off on Indy that he is a little embarrassed, but what do I know? Let's begin shall we...
#1 movie predicted correctly: 5 Week In A Row
$126 million is a lot in four days, but Laremy's prediction of $158.6 million in four days was astronomical considering Indy 4 has pulled in an estimated $151 million in its first five days of release with a worldwide total approaching $300 million... not bad I say, not bad.
Result: 126.0 million (My rank: #1, $32.6m off)
Narnia finishes its first complete week and it now sits just shy of $100 million. It's definitely not the same kind of cash the first film pulled in. I wonder what it's going to take for Disney to consider this one a success? Based on the $200 million budget I am going to guess a lot more.
Result: 28.6 million (My rank: #2, $6.9m off)
Now over $257 million domestically I would say Iron Man is a success and I would also say it still claims the description of "Best Film of Summer 2008" so far... that is blockbuster wise considering The Edge of Heaven is a better movie.
Result: 25.6 million (My rank: #3, $0.2m off)
Now here is a bad movie for yah. If you are still supporting this movie please try and stop eating paste, it is obviously hurting your decision making.
Result: 11.1 million (My rank: #4, $0.6m off)
A friend of mine told me this is their favorite movie of 2008 so far and even though I don't agree, I can respect that.
Result: 5.2 million (My rank: #5, $0.3m off)
Decent movie, but I want to see Fey and Poehler team up for a nice R-rated comedy.
Result: 4.2 million (My rank: #6, $0.3m off)
Made of Honor must be sad that now all the paste eaters are watching What Happens in Vegas.
Result: 4.2 million (My rank: #7, $0.7m off)
This movie is still around? Who hasn't seen this yet?
Result: 2.1 million (My rank: #8, $0.8m off)
I don't even have the energy to comment on this one.
Result: 1.2 million (My rank: #9, $0.5m off)
When will Laremy stop trying to wedge Forbidden Kingdom in this final spot? Had he learned from last week he would have gone 10/10.
Result: 0.9 million (My rank: Not Ranked)

I liked it, so there!
Golden eyes and white skin...
You never would have imagined the effect it would have
Paying homage from gold to black...
Boring for 45 minutes and intriguing for 10...
Chihuahua wins, conservative satire and Julianne Moore crumble.
First official look I should say...
Paramount Vantage is ramping up...
Universal Pictures preps us for what to expect
Based on what I have seen I would say most certainly
