Other Crap

Daily Box Office for Friday, April 24, 2009

Obsessed ran away with the day, despite only 31% positive reviews. It took in $11 million Friday - approximately as much as the next three films added together!

Fighting, with 36% positive reviews, was a distant second.

The Soloist had the reviews (61%), but not the results. It finished fourth.

The nature documentary (85% positive reviews) finished fifth, which is several places better than expected.

You may have noticed that the films above finished in reverse order of quality. (The worse the film, the better the box office.) Just to prove that there is not really an inverse correlation, The Informers was equally despised by critics and audiences. It took in only $110 thousand in the entire country while continuing to amass scathing reviews. Joining the critical consensus, The Detroit News wrote: "The Informers is such a wretched piece of garbage that there's a certain amount of guilt attached to even writing about it."
