'Grindhouse' Number Four, Still Groovy
That's right, "Grindhouse" languished at number four, beaten out by two return offenders ("Blades of Glory" and "Meet the Robinsons") and, not so shockingly, a family film ("Are We Done Yet?").
Why am I not surprised? Well, for one, even though I, along with plenty other folk, did not celebrate this weekend (OK, I ate one of those gross Cadbury Eggs. I also bought a large stuffed bunny, but I just needed the excuse)...anyway, as I was sayinig, I wasn't involved in an Easter egg hunt or spending time at church services praying, "Oh lord Jesus, pray that 'Grindhouse' at least makes it to number two this weekend. I know it's your holy holiday, but families need to watch Rose McGowan's one-legged prowess with a machine gun. They need to." I wasn't. But other's were (minus praying for box office) and probably thought Will Ferrell ice skating to Billy Squire's "Stroke Me" sounded like a good way to make the entire family, even Granny Gwelda, happy.
That being said, I'm sorry the film didn't perform as well as the studio and filmmakers would have liked. I think the other culprit is the picture's long running time, but that makes me annoyed with people. It's a double feature! You get two movies for one. Don't we like value in this country? What's the problem?
Here's the top five over the weekend:
1. "Blades of Glory"--$23.0 million
2. "Meet the Robinsons"--$17.0 million
3. "Are We Done Yet?"--$15.0 million
4. "Grindhouse"--$11.6 million
5. "The Reaping"--$10.1 million
So...Easter is over. Passover is over. And you know you wasted four hours web surfing for whatever it is you're seeking (pictures of feet? Look to your right) so...go see "Grindhouse."
