Compared to it’s record-breaking debut ($150 million), Spider-Man 3‘s recent weekend take ($58 million) may seem like a dramatic fall. But when your worst is still six times higher than your closest competitor’s best, who cares??
The biggest surprise this week? Not the ho-hum performances of 28 Weeks Later or Georgia Rule. After weeks and weeks in the Top 10, Blades of Glory and Are We Done Yet? have finally left the building!

Box Office Breakdown: Viewers Get Caught Up In A Sticky Web

Let’s see if it’s possible for me to say something terribly surprising…
Spider-Man 3 scored the largest domestic debut for a movie ever ($59.8 million on Friday). Two days later, it broke the box office record for the highest grossing weekend ever ($151 million). Both records were previously set by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.
With no strong competitors next week, Spidey is bound to stay on top. But all things could change in just a matter of weeks when Shrek rolls into town (May 18th). And let’s not forget about that Captain Jack Sparrow. May 25th could be the day that the third Pirates installment sails in to reclaim the box office booty.
1. Spider-Man 3, Sony, $151,116,516
2. Disturbia, Paramount, $5,844,363
3. Fracture, New Line, $3,696,060
4. The Invisible, Disney, $3,261,374
5. Next, Paramount, $2,892,335

7. Meet the Robinsons, Disney, $2,619,654

10. Are We Done Yet?, Sony, $1,744,619
Box Office Breakdown: Four More Days ‘Til Spidey…

With no big movie premieres last weekend (and yes, I am ignoring the fact that Next exists), I’m really not surprised to see that Disturbia once again took the top spot. But we shouldn’t expect that film to be sitting pretty much longer. With Spider-Man 3 about to spin its web at the end of the week, all bets are off. But we still gotta hand it to young Shia—three times at #1 is an incredible feat for any movie these days.
1. Disturbia, Paramount, $9,023,835
2. The Invisible, Disney, $7,717,309
3. Next, Paramount, $7,133,049
4. Fracture, New Line, $6,814,714
5. Blades of Glory, Paramount, $5,164,364
6. Hot Fuzz, Focus, $4,876,867
7. Meet the Robinsons, Disney, $4,840,972
8. Vacancy, Sony Screen Gems, $4,112,502
9. The Condemned, Lionsgate, $3,807,595
10. Are We Done Yet?, Sony, $3,450,922
Cage Fronting Next Flop, or Film Hit?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Action, Box Office, New Releases,
He may be an Academy Award winner, but he’s made some movie mistakes in the past. Nicolas Cage has been everything from a comic book hero, a crazy EMT, an angel, even a Jimmy Stewart wanna-be…so, why not make him psychic? Reviews of Cage’s Next are in – and the film is falling pretty flat with critics. Julianne Moore becomes an FBI agent again for this film, while Jessica Biel plays the sexy love interest. The pretty co-stars, the intense plot (it involves nuclear weapons), and the name Nicholas Cage might be enough to propel Next into big box office numbers – so long as fans don’t hear the anti-hype surrounding the flick first. Cage plays magician and gambler Cris Johnson, a man who can see about two minutes into the future, just enough time to predict the Derby winner or avoid a speeding bullet. Fans aren’t shown why the FBI believes him or how they know a WMD is going to be used against LA, but Cris Johnson is tapped by federal agents to help them sniff out nukes. Even Biel is getting bad reviews for her acting, though no one has anything bad to say about her looks. The movie pulled down an unimpressive rating of one and one-half stars out of four. But fans who want to see Cage in top form don’t have too long to wait – the star is working on a National Treasure sequel scheduled to be released within a matter of months.
