after opening
Well, as many of you know Firewall opened in 4th place over the weekend with $13.8 million. Here is the results of the top four movies:- The Pink Panther $21.7
- Final Destination 3 $20.1
- Curious George $15.3
- Firewall $13.8
- Four movies opened in over 2500 screens which made for an extremely crowded weekend.
- The Pink Panther opened on over 600 more screens than the other three and in some cases got more daily rotations than Firewall.
- FD3, which was predicted by the analysts to grab the #1 spot, was a given because of the violence/gore factor that appeals to younger movie-goers.
- Curious George is a beloved children's book character that parents (Harrison's main fan base age group) grew up with and wanted to treat their young children to.
- Critics across the board labeled Firewall as an action movie when in fact it was a Thriller. This could have possibly turned movie-goers off.
There is a good chance that Firewall will build up due to various factors:
- It is doubtful that The Pink Panther will have strong legs due to the negative feedback from audiences. In many cases people were walking out at the half-way mark.
- FD3 has made it's money opening weekend and true to form for Horror movies, it should drop off.
- Curious George has been met with mixed reviews and is not going to be strong throughout the rest of it's run. Unlike family favorites such as Finding Nemo and Shrek, CG will not maintain a strong audience.
Although I was very disappointed at Firewall's opening weekend numbers, I am hopeful that good word of mouth will carry this movie the next few weeks. On the right you'll notice I've added a box office tracking section where visitors can keep track daily on how well the movie is doing.
Have some other updates for you and at this time I want to personally thank Grethe for all her help during the Firewall coverage and for keeping me on my lazy feet. She has done a terrific job at keeping forum members and hopefully some site visitors happy with a constant update of the Sound & Vision gallery where people can view videos of Harrison's recent TV appearances. She has also been helpful with updating the main page and coming up with ideas on how to provide visitors with even more goodies/information. Thank you Grethe.
In the Sound & Vision gallery Grethe has added Harrison's appearances on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Conan O'Brien, The Early Show and Letterman plus more. Go check it out and enjoy
