Box Office Results: 8/10/07

1.
Movie: Rush Hour 3
Prediction: $52.5 million
Actual: $49 million

Boom! Honestly if this movie would’ve come out three years ago it might’ve made $20 million more, six years is just too long to wait for a crappy sequel to a crappy sequel. How sweet of a life does Chris Tucker have though? Did you know he made $20 million for Rush Hour 3 and hasn’t acted since Rush hour 2? Not sure what his daily life entails, but pretty sure it entails a lot of awesomeness.

2.
Movie: Bourne 3
Prediction: $25 million
Actual: $33 million

Tales of this movie’s second weekend demise have been greatly exaggerated. Or something like that. I predicted a 63% drop, instead it held pretty strong, only dropping about 52%, very impressive after opening in the high 60s.

3.
Movie: Stardust
Prediction: $14 million
Actual: $9 million

Had no idea what to make of this movie. Have you seen the trailers? This has rental written all over it. Good cast, seemingly cool premise, could be awesome or horrible and neither would surprise you. Maybe Clare Danes should just like change her name to like Rental or something.

4.
Movie: The Simpsons Movie
Prediction: $13 million
Actual: $11 million

Close enough but needed to swap #3 and #4 on my list.

5.
Movie: Chuck and Larry
Prediction: $5.8 million
Actual: $5.8 million

Thank you, thank you very much.

6.
Movie: Hairspray
Prediction: $5.5 million
Actual: $6.5 million

I’d think I crapped this movie yesterday.

7.
Movie: Underdog
Prediction: $4.5 million
Actual: $6.4 million

Have I mentioned fuck this movie yet?
