Weekend Box Office: GI Joe Steals the Box Office

The bad news, you all went to the theaters to find out why they wouldn’t allow anyone to review G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra — it’s crap. Also, Funny People is dying out ten times faster than The Proposal even though it’s a far superior comedy. The good news, 500 Days of Summer has climbed it’s way onto the top ten! Since it’s release every week it’s become more and more loved at the box office and for good reason. Let’s keep the good stuff climbing!

Even though Harry Potter has already made back it’s ridiculously large budget which could save a small or medium sized country, it’s still dropping off faster than I expected it too and did not get the resurgence that was hoped for from being released into IMAX theaters two weeks after it’s opening. Apparently it was only worth seeing once, even for fans.

What do you think of this weeks numbers? What film(s) did you help raise the box office numbers for?
