    'Anger Management' whooops BO

    http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...o/box_office_3

    "Anger Management" bullied its way to the No. 1 spot with a whopping $44.5 million box office in its debut weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.

    The Adam Sandler (news) and Jack Nicholson (news) comedy revived the box office after four straight slumping weekends as the top 12 movies took in $86.9 million, up 6 percent from the same weekend last year.

    "Anger Management" grossed more than the rest of the top 12 combined. Last weekend's No. 1, "Phone Booth," fell to second place with $7.5 million.

    Playing in 3,551 theaters, "Anger Management" averaged an impressive $12,532 a cinema. The weekend's other main new release, Rob Zombie's gory horror tale "House of 1,000 Corpses," was No. 7 with $3.4 million in 595 theaters, for a $5,714 average.

    "Anger Management" had the highest gross ever for a movie opening in April, beating the previous record of $36.1 million set by last year's "The Scorpion King."

    well....i think the reason why is did so good was
    (one) there is nothing out to really compete with it right now.
    everything that is decent has been out for two weeks at least and most people have already seen them. but the real reason is (two) over saturated the market....

    let me explain. typically, a movie that is not going to be a blockbuster (not like daredevil,x2,hulk,matrix...etc) there will be only two prints of the movie going to the theater. we got in 5 prints on wednesday last week. FIVE prints. which means that it was constantly showing. if it has been a normal release, we would have only received 2 prints and the sales would not have been that good....but that is marketing for you.

    i didn't think it was that good. it was a typical Sandler movie. a couple of funny moments but that was it. considering that Sandler was coming off of "Punk Drunk Love" and Nicholson was coming off of "About Schmidt"....(both of which did badly), i am surprised that it did that well....remember in hollywood, you are only as good as your last film....

    just my $.02...

    about schmidt made over $60 million with it's $30 million budget, and although punch-drunk love made up it's $25 million budget internationally, it'll make a fortune in the special edition that's coming out in the summer...

    i think it's also the combo of sandler and nicholson that audiences were eager to see.
