The weekend box office belonged to the house! Blackjack flick 21, which was inspired by a true story of a group of MIT students that conspired to win millions, took a gamble and won this weekend, opening with a respectable debut of $23.7 million.
The big surprise this weekend however, was the total BOMBING of the much-hyped, MTV backed, Iraq war movie STOP-LOSS. Although it opened wide, only managed to take in $4.5 million, landing it at an embarassing 8th. The failure of this movie proves three things, 1. we don't need to see an Iraq war movie while seeing nightly footage of THE IRAQ WAR, 2. Ryan Phillippe can not open a movie and 3. perhaps a color-less cast ina movie about a war where there are more minorities fighting than non-minorities, wasn't the brightest idea.
Good luck with the DVD, which at this rate will be released on Friday.
Here's the rest of the Round Up:
1.”21,” $23.7 million
2.”Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears A Who,” $17.4 million
