Other Crap

Weekend Box Office Results for November 10–12, 2006

• Borat handily won the weekend.
• The two carry-over kiddie films did exceptionally well, dropping only 11-13%. They did so well that Will Ferrell's movie, although coming in exactly on the prediction, finished 4th instead of its predicted 2nd.
• The loser of the week was the Russell Crowe/Ridley Scott film, which proved to have no audience at all, grossing only about $4 million for the weekend (less than half of expectations), and pulling in the least per theater among the new films.
• The Departed hung in there again, beating 3 of the 4 new films!
• For the third consecutive week, the top twelve group finished with a total almost identical to the equivalent group in 2005.
