Box Office Breakdown! Hugh Jackman Scores A Number One! The Family Hangs On! Insidious: Chapter 2 Brings In The Bucks! And More!
I think it’s finally happened… We’re having a Box Office Breakdown! And I thought I was the only one going crazy! Nope!
Sadly, today was an ending of sorts… As Suddenly Susan’s prediction of the top film… Was wrong! WRONG! I feel like there should be some kind of a buzzer.
Check out the full weekly Box Office recap below!
_____________________________________________________________________________________
The bad news is, my winning streak has ended. The good news is, my man Hugh is the one who put a stop to it. His R-rated adult thriller Prisoners came in at number one with $21.4 million.
Insidious 2 fell to the number two spot, but still scared up another $14.5 million.
Robert DeNiro’s dark comedy The Family held strong and only fell one position to number three.
The indie hit Instructions not Included climbed up to positions to number four, taking in $5.7 million.
Battle of the Year managed to break in at number five with $5 million, which was more than anyone thought it was going to do.
We’re the Millers is now at an impressive $138 million total domestic gross after seven weeks of release at the number six spot.
At number seven was Lee Daniel’s The Butler which took another $4.3 million. Next up, The Oscars!
After such a big opening just 3 weeks ago, Riddick fell blindly to the number eight spot.
The release of The Wizard of Oz in 3D and IMAX took in just $3 million in the number nine spot. Let’s leave well enough alone Hollywood.
Rounding out the top ten was Disney’s Planes, which took in $2.8 million.
Check out the full box office chart below.
Until then, happy movie going.

Next week I’m predicting great word of mouth will keep Prisoners at the number one spot by a narrow margin over Rush. Tune in to see if I’m right!

Suddenly Susan! Oh Susan, I knew you would be there to give us the thrills and love that we have all come to expect to add some spice, sass, and yes… heart to our Sunday evenings. I want to see every film and I realize you are not losing as in losing for the streak you talk about is never broken in our hearts.
Like the Phoenix next week you will capture your foes and tackle the demons that plague our soul. Alas, what can we do Susan? tell us the secret and we will unlock the key, the key to riches and happiness. You hold it Susan, you alone are the one who has loved and coddled us for generations.
Oh Susan…
I was out alone walking in the rocky path to the farmhouse where the beets and turnips are stored and the only light were fireflies with their buds a-nip. I said to myself, “If Suddenly Susan were here she would wisk us all away and the fireflies would do a dance in the air and perhaps make fun kaleidescope designs.” Alas, I continued down the path and they tricked me and I fell into a muddy pool with a ribbit frog. Oh…
It was a sad reminder to never complain about a pebble for a rock could be lurking in your path.
Susan, I need to know do you take mud baths? I always have wanted to but falling into that muddy pool made me wish I had a Frenchman to rub my cold fingers and give me a new saucey look. I think the Frenchman is less burly than we think. Shhhh don’t tell. The lanky one does perms. I feel it.
Update: No puppy, but I found a turtle. It’s an amphibian and won’t pop it’s head out so I keep putting my eye to it’s hole.
My father says I’m crazy, but I’m not. He wants to lock me in a room, but I am a fast runner! Wink! Wink!
Toodles and toshes to you Suddenly Susan. Thank you for my heart and for caring about the unloved. The poor and the sad.
Hi Wanda – no mud baths for me. They don’t sound like something I would enjoy. A hot spring, yes, but a clammy, muddy pool, no. Cheers!
Suze
love that recap. Get em’ next time. Can’t believe Jake made it to #1. Hugh is getting old… Damn. I’d still bend him over, if you like that kinda thing.
Wanda
Don’t fall into anymore holes. I don’t think you need anymore damage to your head.
