Weekend Box Office Results: Beautiful Basterds
I nearly forgot that today necessitates haikus and recappage (which is like re-cabbage, which tastes just awful). It was a good weekend for the Weinstein company, who get to keep making crappy movies thanks to one good one. They hadn't had a movie that grossed more than $35 million total or opened number 1 in more than a year. They achieved both of those in one weekend thanks to Brad Pitt's desire for Nazi flesh. Let's take a peek at how things went.
Here are the results, haiku style:
1.) Inglourious Basterds - $37.5 million (Accuracy of prediction - 84%)
Overachieving.
Not Tarantino's forte.
Good job you bastard.
2.) District 9 - $19 million (Accuracy of prediction - 100%)
100 million
is all but guaranteed now.
An Oscar nod next?
3.) GI Joe: Rise of Cobra - $12.5 million (Accuracy of prediction - 92%)
Big worldwide grosses
means we're in for more of Joe.
I demand Shipwreck.
4.) The Time Traveler's Wife - $10 million (Accuracy of prediction - 100%)
It's not quite a flop
but not quite a hit either.
Mmm, mediocre.
5.) (WILDCARD) Julie and Julia - $9 million (Accuracy of prediction - 94%)
Four weeks is too long
My material ran out.
Time for new movies.
Overall accuracy of predictions - 94%
An all-time record!
How do you like them apples.
God bless the Wild Card!
That's it. Happy Monday movie lovers.

Your blog is a very fun & informative read. It would be great if there was a search engine for it that would give the ability to look up reviews by the name of a film. (Not that I'm saying your reviews aren't worth searching for)
Hey, lookie here, an incredibly worthwhile and important comment. I'm currently working on getting out of the hellfire and damnation that is this terrible design that was foisted on my by evildoers. In the meantime, I'll see if there's a way to do just that! Thanks for the suggestion, you get a Cutting Room No-Prize.
