hehe, gigli bombs heavily
pirates of the carribean has extremely good legs, dropping only 17% in its 4th weekend, it could become the no 3 movie of the year behind finding nemo and return of the king
i'm very curious how s.w.a.t. will score next week

Of the $3.8 million that Gigle took in, I wonder how much of that was from people who just wanted to see how bad it was.

Great to see Pirates doing so well. Looks like it's going to be a good year for Disney with Nemo and Pirates doing really well.

I'm a little surprised Bad Boys II is starting to fall already. I expected it to reach $200 million, not it might not have the legs if it keeps dropping like that.

Looks like Tomb Raider is another sequel to bomb this year.

hm, somehow i'm curious too, but i don't think i'll go and see it.
i guess gigli's performance will also lower jersey girl's chances of being succesful drastically. this movie could destroy j-lo's acting career and it should also hurt affleck. he only had one huge success with a movie that had no built in audience, that was "good will hunting".
"sum of all fears", "daredevil", "pearl harbor", and "armageddon", all of them had other factors that made them succesful.
sum of all fears was a sequel to a quite succesful franchise;
pearl harbor and armageddon were bruckheimer blockbusters;
daredevil had the marvel bonus.
his other movies never have very good box office results.

Gigli would be like a train wreck with midgets: Horrible and Awful, but you still want to see just how bad. As for pirates, finally saw it yesterday... loved it.
