Other Crap

Weekend Box Office - July 1-3, 2005

• No surprises at all, except that the new Martin Lawrence comedy, which was expected to do poorly, did even worse than expected
• Last week's films provided an interesting study in contrasts. The Herbie movie did OK, dropped only 30%. Bewitched did poorly and dropped more than 50%. In fact it dropped below Mr and Mrs Smith, which it beat last week! Finally, the zombie movie did about as poorly as possible. It dropped an astronomical 73% from last weekend! That is among the twenty worst "second weekend" drops of all time. (Gigli holds the record at -82%)
