This column will deal with all of them.Īfter Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire saved last month, we have two potential monster hits leading the way this month. Further complicating the prediction process, there are three groups of releases with two movies opening wide tonight, three more on Friday and three on Sunday. In fact, chances are none will be able to unseat King Kong as the box office champ. With that much competition, there is literally zero chance that all the films will succeed. Over the next five days a total of eight movies will either open wide or expand wide. I guess that means the Weekly Website Award is taking a vacation over the holidays. That site was Munich - Official Site, but I can't say its an award-winning site.
#THE RINGER 2005 MOVIE#
This week's list of movie site is abridged and only contains the films that are opening this week, unfortunately, of those eleven films, only one had any significant updates this week. Movie Website Updates for December 16 - December 22 Year-to-date, 2005 is still down 6% from last year and with less than one week left, that's roughly where it will end up. Granted, the fact that Christmas fell on a Saturday helps explain some of that, but not all. This led to a 14.4% drop-off from last weekend, but more importantly, a 18.0% drop-off from last year. and should be able to double its current international total before its run is over.Ĭhristmas wishes went unanswered this year as almost every film missed expectations, some by large margins. The film has already earned enough to show a profit even after taking into account P&A budget, exhibitor's share, etc. where it debuted in second place with $2.12 million on 304 screens while it struggled in Spain with just $1.01 million on 250. Two openings in two major markets helped Hostel climb into sixth place with $4.03 million on 1120 screens in 27 markets for a running tally of $15.42 million. International Charts Hospitable to Hostel The only other DVD on this week's list than I would rate as a must have is These Girls, but I admit, that is partially due to my pro- Canada bias. That said, there wasn't many that were in competition for DVD Pick of the Week and in the end Home Movies - Season Four was the only one in serious contention. It's a pretty average week for DVD releases with a handful of DVDs worth checking out. The Ringer won that race with a surprising $6.32 million while When a Stranger Calls had to settle for second best with $6.18 million. It was a very close race for the top of the rental charts between two new releases. That's probably enough for the film to show a profit, something it just missed doing during its worldwide theatrical run. June 3rd, 2006 Cheaper by the Dozen 2 opened its home market run with an easily win pulling in $7.24 million during its first week of release.

Millions of Cheap People on the Home Market It turns out Date Movie was a good excuse to stay at home this week as in pulled in $8.09 million in DVD rentals, easily putting it into first place.
