Hello everyone! Welcome back to the Drill. I took a bit of a break after Thursday's mega update day! ;-) Hopefully I can get back on track here this week.
So What To Talk About?
It seems like there's times when I have a ton of stuff to talk about but for whatever reason I never get around to putting it here. I could start off by talking about the fallout from the "Happiest Homecoming" celebrations that took place last week. I know some people were wondering why I didnt have more pics of the floats. So for you that asked here you go:
BOX OFFICE REPORT (BETTER LATE THAN NEVER EDITION)
1) Kingdom of Heaven, $19.6 mil: Whoa, talk about bombing hard. A VERY weak opening for a film of this magnitude. Although overall the box office numbers are WWAYY down. The first week of May is usually the kickoff to the Summer movie season, so this isnt a good sign. "Kingdom" cost over $100 to make so unless there's some serious word of mouth of the DVD sales kick butt, this one will be a hard pill to swallow for 20th Century FOX
2) House of Wax, $12.0 mil: Paris Hilton.on film..with no nightvision. hehehe..Expectations werent as high for this one, so WB might still make a nice little profit. I'm thinking moviegoers are gettin tired of the horror films though.
3) The Hitchhikers Guide..,$9.7 mil: Last weeks number 1 tumbles down two spots. Having never read the books, I cant say this one caught my eye. Although hopes were high for this one as well. We'll see how long it hangs around in the top 5.
4) Crash, $9.1 mil: Here's an example of a film that isnt hyped up alot, but features a strong cast and an intriguing storyline that tries to be different. A solid opening.
5) The Interpreter, $7.8 mil: FREEFALL!! ;-) I guess word of mouth hasnt helped this film. Reviews have been mixed depending on who I talk to. Well from 1st to 2nd to 5th in the span of three weeks isnt THAT bad. But it isnt good either
Here's the teaser poster for "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"
The teaser trailer is online at the official site. http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/gobletoffire/
I still think they should've used my idea from a few months ago! ;-)
OK, that will do it for now. Hope you are all doing good! Til the next time we meet...
