Friday Box Office Numbers In....Snakes On A Plane IS....

[Cheebs]

8th!!!!  The limited release IDLEWILD(only under a 1000 theaters) and older films such as Little Miss Sunshine,  Accepted, Step Up,  & Talledega Nights beat it.

Pretty big drop. It also had very weak legs during Mon-Thrus and the now extremely horrible second friday has sealed its fate to not ever make back its budget.

The internet loses?

PAGING WILLCO DAMAGE CONTROL

You can't damage control 8th place.

No surprise.  Snakes is a shit movie that unexpectedly gained a bit of internet hype.  God knows why, because the movie and premise is shit.  They should count their blessings if they break even.

They won't at this rate. The thing has no legs.

Glad I didn't see it.

Duh, snakes don't have legs. 

   Exactly.

Well, at least it might win a Razzie Award.

Drop is pretty steep.  It'll probably be just a wash at theatres now.

[Van Cruncheon]

Just remember how much Titanic made and let the hatred for the movie-going masses wash over you...

Thank fucking god...stupid lame annoying joke taken way too far, and this is just showing how America responded to it.

I suppose internet hype is worth around 20,000,000 it seems :p

[ToxicAdam]

I think it's proof that internet people don't leave the house. Stupid movie makers.


With that logic, they should market to homeless people. GENIUS!

QFMFT and fuck whatever Willco has to say about it.

Although I haven't seen it, in all the trailers it strikes me as the type of shitflick a person and their asshole buddies could sit around watching while drinking and loudly ragging it.  You don't go to the theater for this type of movie, especially at full ticket price.  I think it's going to do very well on DVD.

[Phoenix Dark]

I truly believed it would get to 30mil in its first week. Oh well, the bet is still on. It'll make up its budget.

[rocketman]

DVD sales, and it'll be fine. Fuck you haters, great popcorn flick

How can it make nearly 10 more million when it can't even make 2 million on a friday? PD you are hoping for the impossible. Even the biggest SOAP supporters accept it wont make back its budget in theaters.

Like I give a fuck about numbers. I dont care if it gets a sequel and im positive it will hit DVD so I can buy my own copy.
