INCREDIBLE.


i saw Wanted. and really, i have no words for how amazing it was. it was funny, action packed, aesthetically pleasing (hello, james mcavoy and angelina jolie!). i even screamed at one part. those of you who have seen it can probably guess which part (involves dead people on meat hooks). all i can tell you is, SEE THIS MOVIE. itll be the best ten dollars you spend in 2008. or at least in the month of june.

and, we NEED more ass kicking females in this genre.

weekend warrior must be shitting his pants, you know with that measley 39 million estimate he gave Wanted. its dangerously close to surpassing Wall-E and we are talking about a fricken RATED R movie here! this is insane. check it---

1. Wall-E: 62.5 mil (these are only estimates, but wasnt this one supposed to pass 70?)
2. Wanted- 51.118 mil! ive never been so pleased by a second place opening.
3. Get Smart- 20 milz
4. Kung Fu Panda- 11.746 mil
5. Incredible Hulk- 9.226 mil

ill give you the adjustments tomorrow.

Sidenote- Chronicles of Narnia:Prince Caspian opened in the UK, France, and other regions this weekend. international numbers take alot longer to be updated, so ill have those for you like tuesday-ish. TOTAL weekend gross for all movies showing in the UK (or all ones that are tracked anyway) is only around 20 mil a weekend, and number one movies in america usually gross double that or more their opening weekend, so dont expect a large number.
UPDATE: THIS WEEKEND WAS ONE OF THE TOP GROSSING WEEKENDS IN BOX OFFICE HISTORY. this is also the FIRST WEEKEND IN HISTORY that two new releases opened with over 50 mil each. INSANITY. WANTED had the 6th or 7th highest ever opening for any R rated film ever released. Also, Angelina Jolie has TWO movies in the top five this weekend! what a bitch!
