Pretty impressive, if you ask me (and I know you didn't). I am sure there will be a more to add to the list before all is said and done. It has been some time since I have seen a film bring out the people in the numbers this has. When I was at the cinema this past weekend, after getting out of Lady in the Water, I was talking to my friend in the booth, I marvelled at all the people looking to go to see Pirates late on a Saturday night. It will be interesting to see how far it can go.
As for the new releases this week, none of them seemed to be all that dominating, and in some cases they were downright disappointing. First there was Monster House, it came in number 2, but no one seems to be talking about it, so the legs may not hold up for this one. Following that at number 3 is the new M. Night Shyamalan film, Lady in the Water, which I found to be very disappointing, and terribly frustrating for the talent that he possesses. Way down at number 7 is Ivan Reitman's misguided mass of romantic comedy and superhero genres. Interesting concept, but hurt by poor execution. Rounding out the new releases, and the only success is Clerks II which landed in sixth place. That may not sound good, but if you consider the cult-like following Smith has gained over the years, combined with it doubling its production budget in one weekend, that has to be seen as a good thing. Oh yeah, it is hilarious as well.
Among the returning films, they all seemed to fare rather well, with no film dropping greater than 50%. The top faring film was The Devil Wears Prada, which I am happy to see, as it is a very good movie. Also doing better than expected was Superman Returns which seems to be leveling off a bit with a drop of 40%.
Four films dropped from the list this week: Click (11), A Scanner Darkly (13), The Lake House (14), and Nacho Libre (15).
