JACK BLACK HAS THE BIGGEST B.O.
06.09.08
This weekend’s numbers confirm that the two safest bets in Hollywood are kids movies and Adam Sandler (even when he’s mailing it in). Panda‘s reviews were largely positive, while Zohan got reactions like:
"Judd Apatow continues his quest to kill comedy with coarse, low class, low-intellect rubbish like this, which can turn your mind to porridge if you sit through it." -Tony Medley, Tolucan Times
More timid reviewers might not have used both "rubbish" and "porridge" in the same sentence, but after all, this is Tony Medley, the brash young firebrand who once wowed the literary community with The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Bridge, an instant classic.
(see the full Box Office breakdown after the jump)
1. Kung Fu Panda, $60 million
2. No Se Puede Molestar El "Zohan", $40 million
3. Indiana Jones and the Army of Monkeys, $22.8 million
4. Sex and the City, $21.3 million (down 62% from last weekend)
5. The Strangers, $9.3 million
6. Iron Man, $7.5 million
7. Fruity British Guy and the Talking Lions, $5.5 million
8. What Happens in Vegas, $3.4 million
9. Baby Mama, $779,000
10. McShitty, $775,000
Meanwhile, Mongol, at number 17, grossed $133,000 on five screens for a per-screen average of $26,000. That’s 52,000 lapdances when you make it rain JFK’s like I do. Don’t look at me like that, bitch, you want paper, do a magic trick or something.

The real winner this weekend was Rob Schneider with his ability to keep milking Sandler for money.
That must be a short book.
Step 1: Walk across bridge.
Step 2: Don’t threaten to jump off bridge unless you’re Jimmy Stewart.
I’m pretty sure the numbers for Sex & the City pretty closely mirror the numbers regarding womens’ sex drive before and after marriage.
Sorry Donk, but I think your maff is a little off. It only said down 62%.
Oh shit, you’re right. I had it all backwards. What I meant was that, before marriage, my girl was down 62% of the time.
Good to see the Army of Monkeys making it into both the third and fourth spots.
Donkey observed I’m pretty sure the numbers for Sex & the City pretty closely mirror the numbers regarding womens’ sex drive before and after marriage.
Following that logical progression, next week it will drop another 50%, closely mirroring the average woman’s take from her divorce.
Zohan was pretty damn funny
Wow…Postal didn’t even show up
everthis week!"When not playing or writing, he can often be found teaching Bridge, having done so in nearly all 50 states and more than 20 countries." I guess the brother likes bridge.
