Just saw it.  It's good because it combines self-aware comedy with Armageddon type comedy where they're trying to make you really care about the characters in the movie.

You think it will make another 20 million? (It cost 35 mill). I don't see how you can see that happening but ok.

I mean, it'll be close, but by next Monday it should be in the $28 to $30 million range, and it'll be in theatres for week afterwards.  And I wouldn't be surprised to see goons and other forum people setup screenings.

Snakes only squeaked into the #1 spot after they  added in the totals from the Thursday evening shows (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060820/wr_nm/boxoffice_dc).  It'll be interesting to see what the numbers are like after this weekend.

My punishment is because leper's can not change their avatars I would like a mod to change his avatar to this, FOREVER:

Also make sure his leper status remains forever so he can't change the icon.

Just to let you know that not all theater houses report their earnings publically. So theres bound to be some percentage (albeit it very small) of money that didnt show up. Most of them are second hand theaters that show movies a few months later.

Would it be possible for about $1mil to not be reported?

Its very possible. But i'm not gonna stir up a hornets nest. You made your bet deal with it.

Theres 3-4 theater houses in the us/canada that own 50-70 screens each that get new movies. Then the countless second hand theaters. I'd say they could have made 40K-120K but thats just a guess.
