09.21.09 WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: CLOUDY.
(picture source = Durden)
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs took number one at the box office this weekend with $30.1 million, which is slightly better than Bolt and slightly worse than G-Force, despite largely positive reviews. The production budget is listed at $100 million, so it’s not what you’d call a huge hit.
The Informant! did okay business ($10.5 mil) in number two, Tyler Perry added to his bank roll, not that that was ever in question, and Love Happens and Jennifer’s Body pretty much tanked. Love Happens‘ bomb is no surprise. When it looks like penis kryptonite AND a sappy turd (as opposed to a lighthearted comedy, even a retarded one), you’re left with that core audience of Aniston die-hards and people whose showing of All About Steve was sold out, a small demographic indeed. On the plus side, it managed a simultaneously lamer and less descriptive title than All About Steve, no small feat. It’s looking like an early front runner for the Oscar in not giving a sh’t.
Jennifer’s Body barely made more than Sorority Row last weekend, and if I had to guess why, I’d say it probably wasn’t the best idea to play the commercials starring an already over-exposed Megan Fox over and over ad nauseum during football and UFC. I felt like I’d already seen it 12 times by the time it came out. You see, we men like variety, isn’t that right, hard drive full of exotic porn. But then, what do I know, I’m not an analyst. I’m just a guy who likes cats wearing costumes. Uh, I mean pussy.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: CLOUDY.
CGI Meathead or GTFO.
Jennifer’s Body has too much hair.
Jennifer’s Body could lose a few pounds.
It doesn’t matter if people don’t like Jennifer’s Body, just as long as she’s happy with it.
Bah, He will have our new LOLCAGE up as soon as Facebook stops being a dirty little whore.
Hmmm…The Mighty Feklahr did not realize that Donkey Kong had his own high school!
If anyone cares, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was surprisingly good. Plus, it’s in hypercolor, so if you like to get high and watch movies, this movie would be either redundant or the greatest munchieporn ever. Seeing it in 3D IMAX was like watching drugs.

Watching drugs? I find that’s not very exciting until I’ve smoked them.
Anything that speeds her descent into softcore porn is A-okey dokie by me.
