Jul 14 2008'Hellboy' Heats Up Weekend, Because Hell is Typically Depicted as Very Hot
Weekend box office numbers!
1. Hellboy II: The Golden Army - $35.9 million, beating the first film's opening by over 12 million despite not using any of my brilliant advertising strategies.
2. Hancock - $33 million, but it could have been so much more if only "Big Willy" had made a bland rap for this one. Is he done with that?
3. Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D - $20.6 million, surely missing the top spot due to its bigoted, cyclops-excluding marketing campaign. One should not need binocular vision to enjoy a film.
4. Wall-E - $18.5 million. Has the summer's cute robot bubble burst???
5. Wanted - $11.6 million. Wait a minute.... where's Eddie Murphy Alien inside Eddie Murphy Ship?
Oh...
7. Meet Dave - $5.3 million. Yeah, that's right. Eff you, Meet Dave.

If on "Han-COCK' was not called that, but "Big Willy'
that would make a HUGE difference

I dunno what the studio was expecting from 'Meet Dave', but whoa, not even I thought it would tank that hard o.O (Not that I'm complaining...oi, somebody pick his movies for him or force Eddie Murphy into retirement...)

Wow. There are $5.3 million worth of people who saw the trailer for Meet Dave and still went to see it? Thanks a lot, America. I'm depressed now.

I am really sad about Meet Dave. Bill Corbett of MST3K was involved. Where did he go wrong? Why, Bill? Why?

Hancock IS A REAL HERO?
i don't think so, the real heroes should be the people in uniform who are defending our freedom. support the soldiers and troops that serving our nation. show your love and support @ MilitarySoulmate.c o m
