Though debuting with a bang last week and garnering $60,000,000 in week two, head and shoulders ($50,000,000 to be exact) above the second place this week, Spider-Man 3’s plummet in revenue is a big money representative of this overall depressing cinematic week. Many of the films this week, such as Next, The Invisible and Fracture that have remained in the ten top-grossing films have done so merely by virtue of the fact that there has been a lack-luster lineup of films this week. Despite this week’s low profits and in some cases low quality (thank you Delta Farce), there are some gems. Meet the Robinsons has stayed in the top ten for its seventh week and is slowly trudging towards $200 million. On the other hand, we must state that the follow up to 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, has received critical acclaim and managed to match its predecessor’s first week’s gains, despite our critiques last week. Likewise, The Ex, Sphere’s pick last week, earned only $1.4 million, falling just below a number ten spot.
