Weekend Box Office (Estimates)
There is a new Carrie Underwood single coming exclusively to iTunes on November 16th, according to an announcement on the singer's official website.
Summer movie season has sadly come to an end, and it shows on the totals for this weekend, in which no movie made more than 7 million dollars. Instead of reporting about this weekend, I'll be posting the summer of 2008 biggest films - those that managed to cross over the 100 million dollar mark.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released on Thursday, and since then the movie has grossed in a total of 126 million dollars! That's incredible, way to make a come back to the big screen! The movie was made on a $185 million dollar budget, but they're not going to have any problem getting that cash back and making a huge profit in the end. Now, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian falls to #2 taking in $23 million to add up to their now total of $91 million. However, the movie's total world wide stands at $113 million so far, they still have a bit to get to their budget of $200 million. Moving on to one of the most successful flicks this summer, Iron Man at #3, check this out, the movie has now grossed $252 million in the US but world wide it has collected 460 million dollars! That's major!! Huge numbers right there. To check out a full chart, click here.
We've got a new #1 flick for the first time in two weeks! That's right, with a debut of $56 million The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was able to overtake Iron Man who fell to #2 making another $31 million which gives the film a total of $222 million grossed so far. That's major! Then there's What Happens in Vegas who falls one spot to #3 making an additional $13 million which added up to $40 millions so far. And the shame of the year, Speed Racer which fell to #4 after Warner Bros. lied about their real debut total last week so they could have a #2 debut. Reality is that Speed Racer debuted at #3 and it now has grossed only $24 million dollars. Ouch! For a full report, click here.
Prince Caspian is being released today after the massive success of the first film The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. And althought the first movie received great reviews, the case with Prince Caspian are not exactly the same. Metacritic gave the movie a 64 out of 100 based on 28 reviews... that's below average and eleven points lower than the first film. Either way, I'm sure it's going to be a huge box office hit. Check out the official movie trailer below. Enjoy.
