Box-Office Benjamin$: Ice Age & Transformers Tie?
Posted by: | Comments
From a box-office analysis standpoint, I really wish all movies would open on a Friday, it would really make things a lot easier. But I digress. As the week prior, my box-office predictions were little off in last week’s edition of BOB. I’ll get it, don’t worry. Ice Age 3 and Public Enemies opened last Wednesday, July 1st in an effort to derail the box-office behemoth that is Transformers 2. It looks as though the prehistoric animated family comedy beat a lot of exceptions by coming in first…barely and technically.
Box-Office Benjamin$: I Told Ya The Proposal Would Take It
Posted by: | Comments
Not to brag or nothin, but I did predict last week that the Ryan Reynolds/Sandra Bullock rom-com would take top spot this weekend and it did with a very respectable $34.1 million, beating Jack Black’s Year One in the process, which took in a mediocre $20 million. To make things more fun here on The Movie Mash, from now on during my weekly Box-Office Benjamin$ report, I’m going to start not only predicting the winner of the next weekend, but also how much that winner will take in. Feel free to say “Challenge” and provide your predictions in a comment. The winner will be mentioned in the following week’s report. Anyway, after two weeks of The Hangover dominating with its outrageous-factor, people decided to get their LOLs from a more traditional, situational comedic outlet in The Proposal.
Some Quick Tidbits

• USA Today has the first official photo of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man in Iron Man 2.
• Awesome, bad-ass new trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I’m really getting excited for this flick, even though I’m so-so on Michael Bay.
• Hugh Jackman hints that Wolverine 2 will be set in Japan. Hopefully they hire better CGI guys for this one. Fingers not crossed.
