Box Office Breakdown! Ride Along #1! I, Frankenstein Flops! Lone Survivor Hangs On!
I think I set a new record for the most consecutive incorrectly predicted box offices in a row. This weekend saw five movies remain in the same spot on the top ten chart, including Ride Along, which held as number one with $21 million. With a total domestic gross of $75 million in just two weeks, I smell Ride Along 2.
Lone Survivor held at number two with another $12.6 million. Mark Wahlberg and crew are doing the Navy Seals proud.
The Nut Job held at number three with $12.3 million. It’s a few million shy of breaking even, but should see some profit by the end of its theatre run.
Frozen performed more magic by moving UP one spot to number four after ten weeks in release. Its total domestic gross is now $347 million, making it the sixth highest grossing animated film of all time.
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit fell one spot to number five after just two weeks in release with $8.38 million. Looks like an animated snowman and cartoon squirrels were too much for this spy to handle.
Apparently Aaron Eckhart got jacked up for nothing. I, Frankenstein opened at number six with just $8.2 million. There’s no piecing this box office monstrosity together.
American Hustle shuffled one spot down to number seven with $7 million more to its $127 million total.
August: Osage County held at number eight with $5 million. It will take a lot more word of mouth before this indie to sees any profit.
The Wolf of Wall Street held at number nine, with $5 million ($41 thousand less than August), perhaps given a small boost from Leonardo DiCaprio crashing Jonah Hill’s SNL monologue on Saturday.
Devil’s Due dropped even further to round out the top ten with $2.7. The only scary thing about that movie is that it even made that much.
Check out the full box office chart below:
1 Ride Along $21,162,000 $75,407,000
2 Lone Survivor $12,601,000 $93,615,000
3 The Nut Job $12,316,000 $40,271,000
4 Frozen $9,035,000 $347,816,000
5 Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit $8,800,000 $30,168,000
6 I, Frankenstein $8,275,000 $8,275,000
7 American Hustle $7,100,000 $127,039,000
8 August: Osage County $5,041,000 $26,527,000
9 The Wolf of Wall Street $5,000,000 $98,030,000
10 Devil’s Due $2,750,000 $12,886,000
Although I can’t wait to see Labor Day next weekend, I doubt it’s going to do much at the box office. Will the Zac Efron comedy That Awkward Moment be able to break Ride Along’s hot streak? I’ll go ahead and say no. It will be quite a feat if Ride Along comes in number one for a third week in a row, but that’s what I’m betting. Tune in to see if I’m right.
Until then, happy movie going.

Da Suze Fails! Damn baby.
We still love you. I love dem sexy fangirls because you are still d bomb diggitty doggie.
Jack Ryan blew, and the love the Pine but shit, boring as well. Ride Along looks wack but hey go Cube!
You see this shizzle Suze?
FROZEN (AKA – the Scott/Susan date movie) is now the top original animated movie of all time (non sequel). I think that deserves mentioning.
It’s because everyone heard it was our date movie. Our “Titanic” if you will!!! 🙂
Oh Susan, the light on the window is dark and with nay a crack of light bursting in from the sides of this realm. Why, did the Lord spare us all. Still Susan, good tidings are to be had. I know, I feel, and I lust after the yearning we all once clinged to for safetly.
I’m sorry you have failed, but I will pray to the heavens, strip naked and do the rain dance for your next lap of victory. Susan, I can video tape this so you can be part of it with me. Strength in numbers! Join me Susan in the naked rain dance, I call Flah Dah Dah Dah OOOOOOOPah! there’s emphasis on the OOOOOOO I understand that was confusing.
Now Susan, we must recap my life. Alone on the dark and barren lands, mustering up the strength to brave the concrete expanse of life, and I conquered it! Oh susan, with your help I did master it. I have friends, I have comrades, and they keep asking me about my journeys and adventures. I told them all about you and how you are the shining light in the sea of darkness, how you alone are a beacon of positive thoughts and notions and I pulled out the scrapbook I made of our friendship.
I also showed them pictures of the various vegetation I named after you. The tree, the shrub and even the turnip plant. It made me sad to eat the turnip’s but then friend Siebert said it was like I was eating Suddenly Susan and that made me curl my lips in happiness.
The emploment itself is a challenge, I have to put things in order and make sure people get their various pieces of mail. If I don’t know the people’s names I take it home and try to find them later. If I still can’t… well… It gets lost. Opps! Hardee har har! Oh, the fun. I am of course Joshing… but people do ask about our time. Susan, Wendy, a new friend with frizzy hair and a leopard top that exposes her nipples said that I need medication to which I told her, well this world is much different than running barefoot in the woods with Aknard the Owl, and friend Siebert.
The white witch was right, slacks was the choice. Now, I can wear the poncho and smuggle a turkey into the lands if need be. Oh Susan, i might need that turkey. Help me Susan.
The lanky one messaged me. He said he needed mango nectar, a starfruit, and two dancing leap frogs. We know what he’s up to. SAVE THE FRENCHMAN! He’s lost in the sea of hobgoblins. Sshhhhhhhh I said too much and will have to answer for that.
I am almost done with my new Suddenly Susan song, should I sing it? No, I can’t. I must. no. But who will hear it if I don’t sing. I will share! I have to share.
It’s not done, so don’t you dare judge me.
Suddenly Susan, is right here besides me. She has a berry, berry land, because Suddenly Susan is right here besides me. She has hair, she has feet and love to see her sing. “
I’ve said too much. It’s clearly not time.
I’m off to search for a new homestead. One with a floor and not cold barren earth with bugs that eat my hair and skin.
Not too shabby. One day, I hope to visit the Los of Angels. Susan, oh the times, the cocoa, the whipped cream fights and tomfoolery we shall have. It will be memories we will share for lifetimes, not just this one but they will carry our souls into another life and beyond!
Toodles, and toshes!
Holy shit, bitch got a job!
What the Fu-
Ryan B. – you make me laugh even when you’re calling me a loser 🙂
Scott – Frozen will always be ‘our’ movie 🙂
Wanda – congrats on the new job! No more mac & cheese 🙂
