A Pair Of Dimes Shift Nervously
The new Bond flick, Quantum of Solace, opened two weekends ago to $67 million approval. In my unadulterated loathing for long lines and crowds of people, I waited until this past Saturday to brave the movie theater. Yet, despite two hours lead time, the movie was SOLD OUT. So, I’m thinking, what’s all this about an economic recession… right?
I mention this to Scamper and he’s dumbfounded… Mumbles something about how it’s been out forever, then mumbles something about the movie “Twilight” and its crazy opening weekend.
So I get back and do the Google. Website extraordinaire “The Numbers” has box-office information for Bonds’ second weekend: a respectable but admittedly underwhelming $26 million… certainly not enough to cause a sell-out at the ol’ Varsity.
But crap. This Twilight movie? $69 million on its opening weekend. Not only did it beat Quantum of Solace’s $67 million, but it also beat out every other Bond movie opening weekend. The historic weekend places the movie 35th on the all time biggest weekends at the box office. Ever. And the only thing I know about it is that it stars the guy who died in the fourth Harry Potter movie. And vampires. Lots of vampires.
I suppose it’s time to climb out from under that rock.
dude.. this is the first I’ve heard of ‘Twilight’…
all the theatres here are playing Iron Man and Wanted haha
It was amazing!!!!! I love him haha
@Shizzle: And I always thought the Japanese came from the not too distant future.
@Laura: What would Legolas think if he found out you were now in love with Cedric Diggory?
yeah… but you stuck-in-yesterday’s seem to have problems sending your films to the future
For those who haven’t seen the Harry Potter movies, you have ruined the fourth. And, yes, it is possible that some people haven’t seen the Harry Potter movies!
Of course Legolas is hotter than Cedric Diggory!
I haven’t seen any… and I don’t know any of these people you’re talking about
)
btw, people actually call that guy in the pic hot?
he looks like he went to the eyebrow shop and came out with the Bert & Ernie special
At least he’s not pulling a Peter Gallagher.
I’m one to talk, though. I’ve got that Mediterranean bushy brow going on up there myself.
