Meet
the Fockers remain king of the cinema... for now.
The box office reports are in for the New Year weekend.
With no real competition out there, Meet the Fockers has stolen the show
again. However, the real surprise comes from the records that were broken
this weekend. To my dismay, Meet the Fockers broke a record previously left
by Lord of the Rings: Return of the King... I don't believe!!
New Years Weekend Box Office Report
Meet the Fockers reigned king over the holiday weekend with ticket
sales at 42.8 million. This is a lot of money for a simple comedy and should
spur on a Meet the Kids.. or something or other. Anywho, here is
the latest and greatest of the box office report for New Years Weekend:
Like I said before, I can't believe how much Meet
the Fockers raked in. I guess people only felt like comedy for the
holidays. Meet the Fockers did so well, it beat out two old records.
The first record is 'highest ticket sales on New Years Day.' The previous
record was set by LOTR: Return of the King, which sold $12.8 M
in tickets [compared to Fockers astonishing 18M]. The other record,
'highest ticket sales on New Years Eve,' initially belonged to Cast
Away with $8.5M. Meet the Fockers also easily beat this with
$12M.
My biggest surprise was that a lot of people are going to see the film Fat
Albert. That film looks horrid, but it still continues to do OK for
a dumb comedy.
Meet
the Fockers remain king of the cinema... for now.
Add to Heffee!
