Sep 29 2008The Shia LaBeouf Movie Made More Money Than Other, Non-Shia LaBeouf Movies
The amount of money (in dollars) earned by various films last weekend is as follows:
1. Eagle Eye - Someone asked me what this was about the other day and I told them I think it's Shia LeBeouf reenacting the first half-hour of the The Matrix as a full movie. Now that people have seen it, is that accurate? ($29.2 million)
2. Nights in Rodanthe - $13.6 million. Who knew there was such a market for menoporn? (Answer: lonely mothers.)
3. Lakeview Terrace - $7 million, thought I'm positive it would be making even more if they'd just gone with my title, Samuel L. Jackson's RACIST COP.
4. Fireproof - $6.5 million! The Fireproof Action Squads worked! How does that make you feel?
5. Burn After Reading - Despite a 44% drop to $6.2 million, it's still maintaining a hefty audience lead over actually reading.

woah CP, calm down. he needs a break like the rest of us.
i went to see Eagle Eye on friday, and let me tell you how much it sucked....a lot. i thought it was going to be 'deep', instead it turned into a shallow mockery of what could have been.
in other words it's pure crap.
i'm a little late, but I saw Burn After Reading as well, and that is a gem of a movie. i loved it.

What? that movie from the douche from Growing Pains made the top 5? shi-eeet! worst box office weekend ever, goes without saying that it coincides with LaBarf's movie is in the top spot.

Eagle Eye was mediocre. Think "Wargames" with todays computers and security camera feeds.
