Box Office Report: 5-6-2007
May 8th, 2007Weekend Box Office Numbers for 5/6/2007
Despite accusations of undeveloped plot lines and rumors that Sam Raimi has a secret desire to direct a musical, Spider-Man 3 steamrolled the competition this weekend, earning $148,000,000 and breaking all kinds of box office records. Not suprisingly, out of all the movies trying to open against the Spiderman juggernaut, only the Warner Bros. film Lucky You managed to break into the top ten, earning a solid $2,515,000. Smaller releases Waitress (Fox Searchlight), Civic Duty (Freestyle Releasing), Away From Her (Lions Gate), and Paris, je t’aime (First Look), came in at 24th, 26th, 27th, and 28th, respectively, but could have shelf life based on receving critical praise. No studio would release anything too important against Spider-Man 3, and the only surprise from this weekend is that Warner Brothers chose to risk Lucky You against it. That film has not been helped at all by its repeated delayed release dates, and it’s a credit to the draw of competitive poker that it made it to number 6. All in all, Sony has to be quite happy with a figure like this, and with Memorial Day weekend looming on the horizon, it will be interesting to see how this film behaves at the box office over the next several weeks.
And now for the numbers on the top ten at the box office this week…
