10 The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen FOX $180,000 $62,961,000

Yet, it seems to me that it was really damn strange seeing Dirty Pretty Things appear on the charts for one day, that day being Wednesday, and then suddenly disappearing again on Thursday. Like someone said before, and I second that..."That came out of nowhere!"

[A.J. Hakari]

Dammit, Mike, you had to post 'em the minute I was going to, eh? ;)

I knew FvJ was going to be big, but almost $14 mil opening day? Sweeeet...It's probably going to drop, but it should still finish with between $25-$30 million for the weekend. Not bad, guys. Not bad. :cool:

[Mike]

Freddy vs. Jason could actually make about 37 Million for the weekend. I guess it literally slashed the competition ;). It's going to drop around at least 60% next weekend though, and have big drops from then on. It should suffer smaller drops when it's been out for awhile and starts going into cheap theaters.


The numbers for Open Range are really surprising. Good for it! Even if I don't want to see it, it's nice to see smaller movies do well.


Uptown Girls did decent.


Grind did bad. Gee, I'm shocked :rolleyes:.



Here were my predictions:


Freddy vs. Jason

Friday - 7.4 Million
Saturday - 6.8 Million
Sunday - 5.1 Million

Total - 19.3 Million


Uptown Girls

Friday - 5.9 Million
Saturday - 5.9 Million
Sunday - 4.9 Million

Total - 16.7 Million


Open Range

Friday - 1.9 Million
Saturday - 2.1 Million
Sunday - 1.6 Million

Total - 5.6 Million


Grind

Friday - 1.6 Million
Saturday - 1.3 Million
Sunday - 1.0 Million

Total - 3.9 Million

Well if you would have paused Air Bud sooner you might have beat me :D.

[Tom Samborski]

Wow, Freddy v.s Jason opened much higher than most were expecting. And S.W.A.T looks like it'll have quite a big drop this weekend- ouch.

[Frank the Tank]

Yes!!!! Go Freddy vs Jason. It already beat dh's prediction on the first day. Open Range did better than I thought too, it will be in double didgets.

[EDsoulsurvive*]

GO FREDDY vs JASON!!!!!! I cannot control how excited I am to see it tonite. I am really really happy it did so well and that would be even better if it didnt drop today.

Now I don't make fun of you for TEEN WITCH, do I?

[gyro_44]

"Freddy Vs. Jason" opened huge! If it follows the usual pattern of the horror movie opening weekend, it should see a drop over the next two days... but it should still open with $32-34 million for the three-day frame.

Meanwhile, over at New Line, you can bet your ass that a sequel is being greenlighted. We should see one within two or three years I'm guessing.

Good to see "Open Range" with a solid opening too.

[slasherfan]

Anyone know a place to check the UKs numbers?

Friday Numbers Analysis
By Tim Briody
August 16, 2003



Freddy vs. Jason

The battle of the classic horror characters earned a solid estimated $13.8 million Friday, which in one day blows the doors of nearly every film in both the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street franchises.

For reference, the highest grossing film in either of the two series is Nightmare on Elm Street 4, which grossed $49.3 million in 1988. The highest grossing Friday the 13th film is the first one, which made $39.7 million in 1980 (and translates to over $90 milion in today's dollars).

While this movie is obviously going to turn a profit for New Line, it's also pretty clear that it's all downhill from here for Freddy vs. Jason. The core audience always turns out opening night for films like these. Still, a 2.5 internal multiplier gives Freddy vs. Jason an impressive $34.5 million for the weekend, which makes anything else this movie earns gravy for the studio.


Open Range

While Kevin Costner has gotten some of his best reviews among films he's directed since Dances With Wolves, audiences weren't quite as quick to warm back up to him, as Open Range earned an estimated $4.3 million on Friday, which isn't all bad since the film is relying on positive word of mouth to get rolling. An adult-skewing 3.2 weekend multiplier gives Open Range a $13.7 miliion start, as it attempts to leg it out into the fall.

Uptown Girls

With its target audience falling in between the ages of the audiences for Freaky Friday and Open Range, Uptown Girls found its own niche with a not-bad $4.1 million Friday. Who said there's too much competition out there? A 2.8 weekend multiplier sounds about right, so a weekend total of $11.4 is a good start for the Brittany Murphy/Dakota Fanning comedy.

Grind

Sneaking into the top ten with $1.1 million is Grind. See, now if the movie had been like Jackass and had people falling off their skateboards, it would have done much better. A weekend total of $2.5 million is in its future, followed by a quick exit from theaters.

Notable Holdovers

S.W.A.T. nosedives 61% from last Friday, continuing the summer trend of one and done films. An overall weekend decline of 55% seems likely. Freaky Friday holds better, dropping only 45% from last week. That's a bit higher than would be expected from a family film, but perhaps Uptown Girls siphoned off some of its audience. It should finish the weekend down around 35-40%.

[Sad man]

Go FREDDY VS JASON!!!

[sharkstank]

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nearly 14 million! On opening day! this has exceeded my expectations. i'm so happy, as it deserves to do this well. i was hoping it would make 17 million for the WHOLE WEEKEND! it kicked ass!
here's to Freddy vs Jason 2!

[Horror whore]

Anyone have any weekend estimates?! I Know they're out there somewhere...

Rumor has it that Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle had a 250% increase this weekend and made 2 million dollars! Maybe it will cross the 100 million mark!

[Haddonfield]

According to Box Office MoJo, Freddy vs Jason did about 12.3 mill on Staurday. and estimates 10.5 for today.

That seems a bit low but if that does hold up that means it made its money back in 3 days. In the US alone.

Lets all go see it one more time!

[Horror whore]

1 Freddy vs. Jason $36,425,000 $36,425,000
2 S.W.A.T. $18,600,000 $70,055,000
3 Open Range $14,100,000 $14,100,000
4 Freaky Friday $13,100,000 $57,900,000
5 Uptown Girls $11,200,000 $11,200,000
6 Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl $8,500,000 $247,900,000
7 American Wedding $8,164,000 $80,618,000
8 Seabiscuit $8,125,000 $83,049,000
9 Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over $5,240,000 $96,845,395
10 Bad Boys II $3,200,000 $128,894,000
11 Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life $2,825,000 $59,117,000
12 Grind $2,615,000 $2,615,000

[Horror whore]

13 Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle Sony $2,000,000 +258.3% 816 +143 $2,450 $97,758,000

That's what makes me happiest about this weekend's Box Office.

[slasherfan]

[Tom Samborski]

Grind flopped, which is an indication that the movie-going public is getting smarter with their choices.

[Mike]

I'm sure they will. I'm still surprised at how well it did. Even though I don't want to see it, I'm still happy for it.

It's cool that Charlie's Angels 2 looks to make it to 100 Million for sure now. I like to see a movie make it to 100 Million, especially when it's so close. I wish Legally Blonde 2 would get theaters added later on, and would be able to maybe get closer to the 100 Million mark anyway. It still needs to reach 90 now though.

[bob]

I'm more surprised by Open Range's opening than Freddy vs. Jason's. That movie had about half the marketing Freddy vs. Jason had, and nowhere near the built-in audience. True, it made less than half of FVJ's box office, but I was expecting it to make about 7 million.

[Frank the Tank]

Holy Shit, for Freddy Vs Jason, that would be great if it did over 100mil. I'm also shocked Open Range did that good for the amount of theaters it was in.

[thompsoncory]

13 Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle Sony $2,000,000 +258.3% 816 +143 $2,450 $97,758,000

That's what makes me happiest about this weekend's Box Office.



Me too Horror whore! Me too! It will definetely make it to $100 million now!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[sharkstank]

come on guys, forget CA 2(7/10) and Open Range,

Freddy vs Jason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!36.4 million!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
forget the other 2:D

[Spidey]

Damn , T3 has dissappeared out of the top ten :(

[optimus1]

Its ok , it has made around 350 million world wide already and still going strong and then you must add in DVD sales and this will end up being a nice money maker..there is no doubt in my mind now we will see a 4th and final movie even if Arnold is not in it..it's made too much money to not get a final ending ( you know studios , if there is money to be made it will happen ).

[jolanar]

F V J did good considering how bad a flop Jason X was.
