Epic Movie rips X-Men

[flavio_lebeau]

Don't forget Thank You For Smoking and Little Miss Sunshine. Yes people they do exist they just aren't as easy to find as the ****ty ones.

those are two great movies.

 

[danoyse]

The point is that we shouldn't have to look THAT HARD to find them.

I work in NY, so those movies are easy to find for me. Pan's Labyrinth is only playing in 17 US theaters, and Children of Men only 16 right now (although COM goes wider tomorrow)...and I got to see them both this week. t:

But you gotta love how a 16-screen multiplex usually has 3 movies playing on every single screen.

 

[danoyse]

Eh eh. So I'm not the only who likes to use the *cough cough* thingy.

At least cover your mouths when you do that...it is flu season, after all.

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Doubt it'll be a hit, but I wouldn't hold my breath for the later part.

Cookie-cutter is just, ya know, so hollywood-ish it's not even funny.

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Didn't, but some - maybe not here, but oh well - obviously did.

Opened with like 6.7 millions last night.

 

[PeRfEcT_StOrM]

WOW! Way to go again Fox..even manage to swindle the X-Men in a movie not of their own...My my.Im surprised...or shouldn't I be...It's Fox..

This movie was disgusting..ach..they didn't even do anything..that trailer promo was a bunch of BS.

Ugh..This movie was horrible..dont even bother seeing it..I knew it would be bad..but Storm did look pretty good..the only thing Rogue did was touch a girl and knock her out...Mystique used her powers for sexual reasons..and Logan popped a claw..big whoop..And Storm says something with a slight wind effect..pft!

Not if you put a gun to my head.

I saw Dreamgirls instead today. Great movie.

 

[LastSunrise1981]

I decided to watch The Pursuit of Happyness instead. Brilliant movie.

 

[Mistopurr83]

I saw Epic Movie today and I thought it was alright. It was very funny, but it had a lot of disgusting moments. Even though the x-men didn't have action I still found improvements over what we were given in the trilogy.

 

[danoyse]

Epic Movie is the epitome of the January dumping ground movies.

Seriously...I've seen 5 movies so far this year (Dreamgirls, The Queen, The Pursuit of Happyness, Children of Men, and Pan's Labyrinth), and they're all from 2006.

2007 will eventually produce a decent movie. Just not this week.

Say what?

Good choices.

An Epic Weekend at the Box Office!
Source: Box Office Mojo, Edward Douglas

January 28, 2007​

The ComingSoon.net Box Office Report has been updated with studio estimates for the weekend. Be sure to check back on Monday for final figures based on actual box office.

After five weeks of Night at the Museum and Stomp the Yard dominating the top of the charts, it was time for some new blood in the form of four new movies, two of which knocked out the consistent chart-toppers.

20th Century Fox's comedy Epic Movie, which spoofed many of the biggest blockbusters of the last few years, brought in an estimated $19.2 million in its opening weekend, doing just slightly more business in its debut than the studio's 2006 spoof offering, Date Movie.

Pulling in a strong second place, Joe Carnahan's crime-drama Smokin' Aces, starring Jeremy Piven, Ryan Reynolds and many others, grossed $14.3 million in its debut weekend in 600 fewer theatres than Epic Movie, averaging just slightly less per theatre.

Knocked out of its place in the Top 2, Ben Stiller's Night at the Museum still grossed an impressive $9.4 million over the weekend to bring its total to $216.7 million.

Jennifer Garner returned after two years with the romantic comedy Catch and Release, written and directed by Erin Brockovich's Susannah Grant and co-starring Kevin Smith, which opened in fourth place with an estimated $8 million.

Screen Gems' Stomp the Yard dropped from #1 to #5 in its third weekend as it crossed the $50 million mark with an additional $7.8 million.

Despite being snubbed by the Academy for a Best Picture nomination, Paramount/DreamWorks' musical Dreamgirls, starring Oscar nominees Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Hudson, added another 600 theatres and had a negligible drop of 17% from last weekend. Its three-day gross of $6.6 million brought its total to $86.6 million.

On Tuesday, Will Smith was nominated for his 2nd Oscar nomination for The Pursuit of Happyness, and over the weekend, it grossed $5 million for seventh place, having grossed nearly $153 million in seven weeks.

Two foreign films which each received 6 Oscar nominations earlier this week--Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth and Stephen Frears' The Queen-- both added roughly 200 theatres and maintained their places in the Top 10 with $4.5 million and $4 million respectively. The Queen crossed the $40 million mark over the weekend, while Del Toro's adult fairy tale has grossed $16.2 million to date.

After a lousy opening, Rogue Pictures' horror remake The Hitcher was hit hard by the plethora of new movies and Oscar nominees, dropping
54% in its second weekend to put it at #10 with $3.6 million and a total of $13.4 million.

It came out just slightly ahead of Hilary Swank's classroom drama Freedom Writers which made $3.5 million in its 4th weekend, having grossed $31.3 million to date.

The Top 12 was rounded out by a returning champ, that being Martin Scorsese's The Departed, which was re-released by Warner Bros. into over 1,400 theatres to take advantage of its own Oscar nominations. It grossed an additional $3 million mere weeks before its DVD debut, having earned nearly $125 million theatrically since opening in early October.

Paramount Vantage's Babel, another multiple Oscar nominee, remained at #13 adding an additional $2.6 million to bring its total to $27.2 million.

Opening far outside the Top 10, MGM's werewolf thriller Blood and Chocolate, starring Agnes Bruckner, failed to find much of an audience, grossing $2.1 million in 1,200 theatres, a pitiful average of $1,752 per theatre.

In limited release, the Samuel Goldwyn Pictures Western Seraphim Falls, starring Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan, grossed just $162 thousand in 52 theatres over the weekend.

Add in the fact that there aren't any really good movies out at the moment.

Most people have already seen Dreamgirls, the Pursuit of Happyness, Pans Labyrith(spelling?), Children of Men, or even the Hitcher. I'm anxiously awaiting Ghost Rider and the Number 23 for next month.

Actually, Pan's Labyrinth just went wider to only 824 theaters this week, and the subtitles are scaring off most of the multiplex crowd. Dreamgirls only just went wider from the 800 theaters it was playing in when it first opened.

Did anyone see Meryl Streep's speech at the Golden Globes, about how all these good movies in theaters now are so hard to find, and how people should go up to their movie theater manager and demand that they start showing them? I loved that.

The trailer for 'Epic Movie' is online.

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1458909704

There is an X-Men 3 'rip-off', along with Chronicles of Narnia, Pirates of The Caribbean and many more.

Even if it is a rip off, they got a pretty good wolverine and rough impersination, but their mystik sucks, I know it is suppose to be funny but it really isn't. Plus the main character doesn't make the stuff funny, she drags it down, I hate it when they get cluelss acting girls like her who try to be funny, but just embarasse themselves. Aside from her horrible acting the rest of the movie is pretty funny.

I knew 20th Century Fox would give Cyke more screen time!
