i dont even know what to say about this.

this box office shit keeps getting weirder and weirder. ill list you the top five with the rank it was predicted to have (along with the monetary amount) next to it in parenthesis.

1. burn after reading- 20 mil (3rd- 13.8 mil)
2. the family that preys- 18 mil (1st- 17.1 mil)
3. righteous kill- 16.5 mil (2nd-14.6 mil)
4. the women- 10 mil (4th- 9.8 mil)
5. the house bunny- 4.3 mil (8th- 3.9 mil)

a few notes i have on the subject:
1. the people who compile the lists of box office predictions seriously underestimated the power of pitt and clooney.
2. i saw burn after reading, and really, it wasnt that great. clooney and pitt were good, but a lot of the humor was over my head or something.
3. the whole top three is completely fucked up.
4. im loling that house bunny is still holding on to a rank. although these aren't the actually numbers, its still pretty cool that it beat the dark knight and tropic thunder. lol.
5. babylon ad and bangkok dangerous, both 2nd week movies completely fell off the charts, which is actually not at all surprising and quite comical.
