Weeeee, more Box Office numbers. This time Harry Potter is the one setting records, it has broken the opening day record for Wednesday and is placed fifth overall for any day taking in an amazing haul of $44.2 million in 4,181 cinemas.
Transformers is still going strong with $155.2 million from 7 days being open. Transformers is definitely living up to the hype, Michael Bay has done a tremendous job on the effects and the numbers are really showing up for his work put in.
Phoenix was another big player at the box office this weekend. Pulling in $42.5 million on it’s opening day. Warner Bros. are pipping the number to be a little higher than $100 million for the opening weekend of Phoenix, which is said to beat out there previous holder of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Some other titles which are opening up this weekend are Captivity (a Saw wannabe just without the seven deadly sins involved) which is only going to open up to 1,000 cinemas this weekend. Talk to Me (a movie about a criminal who turns to be a famous talk show radio host in the 60’s) which really goes under the radar and only opens to 33 cinemas. And finally the Interview opens in 7 cinemas in Gotham and L.A. and My Best Friend which opens in 3 cinemas in those cities
Those films must be pretty fucking shit. I mean all up 1053 cinemas which is like a quarter of Harry Potter, shamful, enjoy the weekend while it lasts and get out and see some of those shamful movies!
