Nivek said:This is exactly what I said, notice the bolded out? Should. Not is. It's not like it made $25 million and dropped off, either. It's too soon to see if it has legs to stand for 4 weeks in the top ten, but hey, it was number 2. Not number 7.
But again I feel the need to point out that it's only it's 2nd week of release here. This is March box office, not June, so I knew it wasn't going to do a $100 million weekend. And why the negativity, you people want it to fail? Do you think WB didn't do enough? Seriously, it's 2nd week of release, it's still number 2, it's already made it's budget back in B.O.,nothing worth while is coming out for a couple weeks, why all the dooming and glooming?
No it has not made its budget back at the B.O. Its made $65 million so far worldwide. The studio only gets about 55% of the B.O. So at this point the studio has only recouped $35.75 Mill of its $54 production cost (.55*$65).
Also Ice Age 2, Slither, ATL and Basic Instinct 2 are coming out next week so it could drop to sixth.
I am certain Ice Age 2 will be one, Slither will probably be 2 and it targets the same audience V does. ATL may have a strong opening as well. Basic Instinct 2 will probably bomb and V should beat it but you never know.
