Box Office Breakdown! The Butler Is Tops! Liam Hemsworth & Harrison Ford Bomb! We Are The Millers Holds On!
It’s funny… This week the MTF Family was dissed by Harrison Ford and Liam Hemsworth of Paranoia and also Ashton Kutcher from Jobs. Both movies… bombed at the Box Office. Doh!
I know Suddenly Susan thought Jobs showing wasn’t bad, however it wasn’t what the studio wanted or expected.
Add those up with Channing Tatum’s recent diss and White House Down bomb. I think we have a recipe for studios to follow. Be nice to the MTF Family!
Check out this weeks Box Office Breakdown after the jump!
_____________________________________________________________________________________
We learned two things this week – one, never underestimate the drawing power of Oprah, and two, I stink at box office predictions!
The Butler cleaned up with a hefty $25, claiming the number one spot.
We’re the Millers held strong in the number two spot again, while Matt Damon’s sci-fi
thriller Elysium fell to number three.
Kick Ass 2, which was my prediction for the top spot, opened at a rather poor $13.5 million in the number four spot. Was this even a sequel people were asking be made?
Planes is still flying high at number five and Percy Jackson only slipped two spots to number six.
Though Jobs opened in seventh place, $6.7 million is strong showing for an indie flick that cost just $12 million to make. I stand firm that if a better actor (and by better I mean anyone other than Ashton Kutcher) been cast, Jobs could have been on its way to the Oscars.
2 Guns still had a little fire power at number eight, and The Smurfs made a smurfy good show at the number nine spot.
The Wolverine clung to the tenth spot with his adamantium claws.
Just a side note, Paranoia OPENED at the number 13th spot. 13th!! Maybe Liam and Harrison will show their fans a little more love next time they’re at a premiere.
Check out the full box office chart below.
1. Lee Daniels’ The Butler $25,010,000 $25,010,000

Tune in next Sunday and read all about it.
Until next time, happy movie going!

Yo The Suz!
Nice! Don’t mess with the family! That’s some Don Corleone shit up there! Yeah!
Liam Hemsworth is a punk bitch. He’s not even hot! I’m secure in saying that!
Oh Susan-
My heart cried when I read your article. For you will never “Stink” you will be a vibrant and floral part of life. Your odor is like that of a lotus blossom wafting through the air and making everyone in distance of your voice sing a song. I’ve been writing more songs and not just about Mexican tree frogs but that’s not for today. Today, we are to mend our heroes heart! Mend your soul. Oh…
To think that Suddenly Susan is sad makes me cringe with sadness and ill timed grief. My tea of Dandelion flowers will wait for Suddenly Susan to blow on it so I can have the milk of the land. Susan… You are an inspiration. to everyone who comes in your path you are light, grace, goodness, with a dash of spice and sass. Oh, Suddenly Susan, I want to sing your song!
In all honesty Susan, I’m thankful to you and your Frenchman for everything. You are a light in the world and a symbol of positivity and joy. Love and light! suddenly Susan and joy! I’m going to write a poem for you.
Susan you are stunning
Usually I’m short of words
So I’ll be brief
Apples are a wonderful fruit
Not when they stop me from reading Suddenly Susan!
I will see all these movies and have the villagers sing your praises! Tell the Frenchman I said hello.
I’m going to get some vapor rub.
Pound Puppy goes woof…
Ryan B. – guess we were both wrong about Kick Ass 2 – better luck next week, right 🙂
Wanda – thanks for the poem. It even spells out my name 🙂
Who is it you are referring to as the Frenchman?
And no need to be sad. I have no problem admitting my first outing at predicting the box office winners was not too great 🙂
Of course it spells out your name, it’s a poem Susan. That’s what poems do.
Oh Susan, your Frenchman is a bohunk with billowing chest hair and right round pieces of ash. If only he would climb to the top of my castle and rescue me from the banalities of my dreary life atop the mountain when I peer out into the ocean hoping that my dreams will manifest themselves. Your life is a dream Susan, a dream we all dream. Oh… The postive vibes you send out out are like a blanket woven with mohair and the spring dew.
Mohair is scratchy sometimes but not Suddenly Susans she spins and spins the mohair until it’s soft and cooing like a baby. To have a Frenchman that would save my life from the castle to which I’m stunk in. It’s a small land but filled with juicy fruit. Oh to share a piece of fruit with Suddenly Susan would be too much for me to handle. It would be scrumptious and with so much life and trickle down into the ocean.
I wish I had a small boat, I would row, oh how I would row. I’m going to see the Smurfs because of Suddenly Susan. I’m traveling by boat, by horse and by land. I will sing Suddenly Susan’s song and follow the path of only good vibes and good tidings. He Ha! Toodles and Toshes to the dear Suddenly Susan, the huntress the scavenger the defender of the defenseless, together with her Frenchman she will strike down foes and raft the wild river.
I’m dying my hair blonde. Perhaps I’ll be a knockout and as cute as Suddenly Susan. Or not.
