Christopher WaldeckBox Office round up 7/12/09
July 13th 2009 01:33
Apparently my predictions were false and Bruno was the number one movie in America. It landed the number one spot with 30.4 million. Though it grossed more than Borat's opening record. Every day showed a steep decline in ticket sales following Friday. Due to the film's nature and controversy I expected it to gross in third or second place, but it defied my expectations and I'm happy about that.
sadly there was no love for Beth cooper and thankfully no love as this movie based on an overrated and average book by Larry Doyle grossed in seventh place. This goes to show you why average and overrated books don't necessarily make good movies. Twilight could learn a thing or to about this. Hopefully at least we'll see Hayden Panettiere and Paul Rust as a duo in a different movie because they actually have good chemistry together.
